Hard to disagree that Alberto Gonzales' dereliction of duty takes our minds off the real story: the extent of the damage he and Bush have done to the Justice Department in a few short years. But, are the Democrats not equally culpable for their willing compliance?
In response to the most recent Gonzales-related revelations, The Judicial Committee Chairs plan to "grill" him, or re-grill him, as he has been grilled several times. This will allow Alberto the opportunity to forget, not recall, or acknowledge that he had not been informed. Once again that will satisfy the Congress, that they have done their duty. To their credit, 23% of Americans actually agree that our representatives are doing a good job. The Reps and Senators need to hear loudly and clearly that it is THEY who are derelict of duty. I have lost all hope that the Administration will ever again do the right thing. The Nation's only defense is the Congress whose feet must be held to the fire to respond appropriately. As long as co conspirator Pelosi keeps impeachment off the table, the Administration has license to do anything in its arrogance that it chooses to do.
