Impeachment is the only option. Wake UP, Senators.
From Think Progress, here’s Alberto V-05’s latest outrage latest outrage:
Gonzales described what he delicately calls "a more vigorous and a little bit more formal process" for annually evaluating prosecutors. What that means, as he explained it, is hauling in every U.S. attorney for a meeting to hear, among other things, politicians' beefs against the prosecutor.
If that should happen, expect the fair-mindedness and independence Americans still count on from their Justice Department to slip.
In testimony to Congress and comments at the National Press Club, Gonzales framed the meetings as a way of improving communications. But it also looks a lot like a way to remind recalcitrant U.S. attorneys what the home team expects.
I think the Trib writer forgot the word “further” after “slip.” Of course, a word like “crumble” would have been even better in the first place.
Again, nothing short of impeachment is going to stop this. So what if the no-confidence vote failed of cloture. Bring impeachment to the floor. Put some GOP Senators up for re-election this year very strongly on the spot.
