Schumer: Gonzales Unlikely To Survive

[dogday]

A top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee says Alberto Gonzales probably will not survive as U.S. attorney general, and may step down within a week.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. Asked by host Tim Russert if Gonzales will remain attorney general, Schumer said it was "unlikely."


"I think it's highly unlikely he survives. I wouldn't be surprised if a week from now he is no longer attorney general," Schumer said. Gonzales is due to return to the committee to testify on the firing of eight U.S. attorneys. Democrats allege the abrupt firings were for political reasons.


"The Justice Department has actually agreed to be cooperative, and this week the staff will take depositions of five Justice Department officials," Schumer said. "Next week we will have them come to hearings. They've also given us all the documents" related to the firings.

Course, that motherfucker deserves far worse than losing his position. Scumbag.

2. Exactly!

How about how he did little to see that justice was done when he was in Texas - and seemed to enjoy the plentiful executions under Dubya? How about his misuse of the 'signing statement' idea - using it to subvert the Constitution, enabling torture, domestic spying and rendition? He's one twisted a**hole!

3. They'll just move his office next to KKKarl

They never truly leave, you know, even if they're fired (which he won't be). Alberto will just want to spend more time with his family :eyes:
