but it will solve nothing. A a petulant aging brat serves as our President who defines "character" as the appointment of ever more brutish lackey's to high office.
The only reason for Bush to replace Gonzalez is because he has someone even worse on tap for the sinecure.
This is the way things will be until Bush leaves office, the callow will be replaced by the callow and the nasty and so on and so forth.
We are therefore in a sort of life and death race with the President's governing style...can we save something of our freedom and republican institutions in the time he has left in office?
Thats the only question here, I can already tell you that if Gonzalez resigns tonight, his announced replacement will be someone on the order of Achille Starace...a bully to those below, a sycophant to those above.
Under these circumstances, with a "model" of Presidential leadership that is so contrary to tradition and common sense, the Senate is well within it's rights to decline confirmation. Better the Department of Justice drift until January 2009 than be further corrupted.
