Janet Reno was never forced to resign. Even after Waco, firing the White Water prosecutor during an on-going investigation, sending in commandos to deport an 8-year old, etc.
Why is it that whenever republicans do the same thing a democrat does (even when to a lesser extent) there is always a demand for the Republican's resignation, but ne'er a word for a Democrat's resignation?
So, NO. If Gonzales gets tired of working with the hypocrites in Congress and wants to quit, fine. But 'til then I hope he keeps sticking his finger in their eyes (figuratively, of course).

Every Democrat sucked into something not worth the p in pee. Try finding something other then the right to appoint and remove to deal with, I think we have bigger issues then Gonzales. And its helping to draw away attention to core issues. Get with the game !

Yes. This goes deep. I know we're going to hear that Clinton fired his-at the beginning, not mid-presidency. Reagan didn't fire mid-term either. But a provision of the Patriot Act now allows the president to appoint interim U.S. attorneys for indefinite periods without Senate confirmation. The Bush administration - always alert for new ways to amass power and politicize essential functions of government - has seized the opportunity to replace respected prosecutors with partisans.
ALL of those fired were Bush appointees.

He cannot be forced to resign, except maybe by the President, and even that is debatable as a matter of constitutional law.
I do agree he should be asked to resign, and the American people should demand it, because of his conduct in that office.
He has consistently shown that he does not understand the role of the Attorney General, as opposed to the role of Chief White House Counsel, and because his conduct -- particularly testimony he has given before Congress -- has fallen below the standards of professional competence and integrity required for all attorneys.

Yes, get rid of the clown. Bush is the first President to try this at the end of a presidency, so what does that tell you? The entire regime is crooked to the core.

He should be impeached.
Gonzales doesn't even know that Habeus Corpus is a right of every US citizen, or how our constitution works.

No! The only thing he did wrong was to get his deputy to resign. When Clinton took office he fired all the Republican appointed U.S. Attorneys (for political purposes). In this case the U.S. Attorneys were fired for cause - not investigating VOTER FRAUD (which is a Federal crime and their job is to enforce Federal Law).

WHY?
Everyone forgets that My Man Bill canned all 93 US district attorneys in March 93 and stuck his cronies in place to slow down the Whitewater investigations. Talk about killing continuity.
Look, most Americans voted for Bush, so most Americans approved of his judgment and Alberto is one of his appointees. Just suffer for another 22 months and stick in your own hack. It's called democracy, not 'damn this sucks can I get another chance'?
