Time to Impeach AG Gonzalez
The man is insane.

George Bush is not the king, god or anything else.

Gonzalez swore to protect the Constitution, not rip it to shreds.

It is time for Congress to act.

Impeach Gonzalez.

3. Yup, Start W/ Gonzo and Work Up
I think and hope that that is what they are working towards w/ these hearings. If he does not cooperate and does not provide the info they are asking him for then they MUST impeach him. It is IMPERATIVE. They MUST show the admin. that the WILL do it, otherwise it's all just show. They absolutely have to ASSERT their power.

5. Yes, the first battle
is now, with Gonzalez.

I get the feeling BushCo isn't going to know what hit soon.

7. Yup, he said today habeas corpus is not a right
under our Constitution. Specter said that if it can only be taken away during invasion or rebellion in the Constitution, then it is a right. Even Specter told him he is not talking common sense.

4. Yes, for nothing else then lying when he took his oath. He never
had any intention of upholding the Constitution. In fact, when he was sworn in I believe that he fully intended to help bush** & Co. break every law we have.

He has put the interests Bush and Cheney
ahead of the interests of the American people.

8. Remember when they had the hearings for his confirmation and
the big concern was that he was too enmeshed with * to be able to do his job effectively?

12. There is a faction
that empowers Bush and Cheney.

Some interests in this country evidently desire overt fascism. It seems one of their goals is to criminalize dissent. It appears that there are several members of Congress who support this agenda.

It's our descendants that I'm worried about.

carry the stain of these people and their horrible crimes to humanity because people ignore time periods when they hate.

15. Just get rid of them all!
Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 02:32 PM by AndyA
Bush
Cheney
Rice
Gonzalez
Roberts
Alito
Snow

The list just goes on and on. None of them are qualified for their jobs.

The conflict of interest alone with most of them should have been enough to raise red flags.

The cronyism, the corruption, the lies, the manipulation.

Get going, Congress! You have a lot of work to do to clean all the roaches out of the pantry!!

43. Scalia and Thomas, too.
They got this rolling with Bush v. Gore.

It became unconstitutional to count legally cast balots.

They have to go to get any justice.

No mercy, not now, not ever.

18. Impeaching Gonzo may be the most excellent way to send a shot across
the bow of the ship of state. That would be a major slap to * and let him know is sorry butt could very well be next. That he is not above the law.

19. Sen. Whitehouse was magnificent today.
He is a former AG. Didn't know that...great news.

He basically threw down the guantlet re: lies and lies under oath and the consequences for those lies...

23. Gonzo refused to intervene over Border cops doing time for shooting a drug smuggler
The Government turns around to give the smuggler full amnesty if he testified against the Border Patrol cops, which he did and the cops got 10 and 12 year sentences to start in a few days.

Update? The drug smuggler is now sueing the US. government?!!

Gonzalez relpies; "the border patrol guards go a fair trial so Gonzo says NO to pardoning them!

That was one of the few ethical acts of the Nixon administration's DOJ

41. He is the epitome of a megalomaniacal sociopathic personality!
Every time I see him smirk in such an unfeeling way, I know we're dealing with criminal insanity in his position of power, and it just plain sickens me!

Remember, I think we only need a simple majority, not a super majority to convict Gonzalez in an impeachment in the Senate! I think we should go for it!
