Not only no but HELL NO!
I don't like the guy because of how he allowed the prosecution of the two border agents. Having said that, I'd hate to see him drummed out of office by the democrats for some stupid trumped up thing.
Yes, but only because of his refusal to enforce the immigration laws.
This story makes some very relevant points--some that have bothered me for a long time. The White House and the Justice Department have REFUSED to go after the leakers in the administration.
Heads should have figuratively rolled over the NSA and the NYT bank transfer leaks, and nothing happened. At all. And it seems we have an endless stream of pointless cases being brought against conservatives on a regular basis.
That said, it's too little too late with Gonzalez. Sending him down the river only harms Republicans more. In no way should he resign or be forced out of office. I see no reason to appease any Democrat at all. If anything, they should be called childish and left to strew in their animosity.
One of the Attorneys replaced was from nNevada..... is Dingy Harry worried?

This is politics. Take the long view.
This is all about smearing Gonzales now to preempt any chance of his appointment to a Supreme Court vacancy that might arise in the next two years.
Pure and simple, it's all about the Democrats positioning him for the kill.
I wish the Republican Party leadership would remember how to fight. They just need to quit laying down for these idiots, and fight back.
This is more of a separation of powers issue to me. Also going by more or less unnoticed in the MSM today was the Senate passing a bill that takes away the POTUS authority to fire the US Attorneys. I think this is the kind if thing Bush and Cheney will bare their knuckles on should win on.
Gonzales is toast...it is too bad that the Dems will get credit for getting rid of this weak failure of an AG...open borders are only one reason, lack of prosecution of Bergler, Davis, NYT/WashPost/ on & on. then this from La Raza VP & his buddy, Cecilia Munoz told the Washington Post: “Many people were not aware of Judge Gonzales’ long history with our affiliates in Texas, and moving then-Gov. bush to the right posture, from our perspective, on key civil rights issues like anti-English only requirements, like anti-immigrant ballot initiatives, bilingual education, and affirmative action.”
At least he may not get a shot at the USSC! I have had massive disdain for this guy since he became AG.
No, he shouldn't go because dimocrats demand it. However, he certainly should go for ineptitude and being a liberal. Immediately.
I for one think Gonzales should go. After all, he did authorize federal troops to go in and terrorize American citizens who were only trying to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Citizens were shot and killed. Elderly people, children and babies in their mother's arms were burned alive.
Oh wait, that was Janet Reno, nevermind.
The guy shiuld have never been appointed.
Besides being not up to par for the job, he's pro 3rd world illegal and legal immigration.
Fight the Rats over the US Attorney firings, win that battle, then fire him for being a lousy AG.

Every day lately my respect for President Bush diminishes a little more.
Upon reading this today, it has diminished a lot. What a colossal waste.
DO NOT MISS this one. Whew...!
Should have never been appointed..
ALL of the attorneys should have been let go 7 years ago..
Bush is a wimp..
It is amazing how many posters apparently read only the thread title before responding. This guy Gonzales has been a nightmare from the beginning. The scary part is that Bush is the person ultimately responsible for his own foul, corrupt Justice Department. Certainly Gonzales should go, but who would Bush appoint in his place? Somebody as weak and lame, or worse? Wow....
What a colossal waste.
