What's going on with Attorney General Gonzales?

Question

I know he fired several federal judges but what's the big deal? Why all the controversy?

Answer 1

Congress is determining whether Gonzales violated the codes of ethics for attorneys, and/or the oath of office as AG.

The issue is not that USAttys were fired. Nobody is saying he didn't have the legal authority to do that. The issue is WHY they were fired, which may have been for unethical or improper reasons.

And if Gonzales violated the ethics of his profession, or his oath of office as AG, then those are grounds for removal from his position as AG. So, it all comes down to WHY the federal prosecutors were fired and what the political agenda was (if any).

That's what the hearings are trying to determine.

Answer 2

Attorney General Gonzales is fuming for being accused as a liar and it is the reason that he fired several federal judges.

Answer 3

For partisan reasons, the Democratic party, now in power in the House and Senate, want to examine any possibility of impropriety in the Bush administration. The executive branch has the right to hire and/or fire attorneys in the U.S. attorneys office (not judges) for any reason, or none at all. It's much ado about nothing.

Answer 4

that's the architect of the criminal language that de-humanizes everyone who opposes the favor of the U. S. and subverts the very concepts upon which the very criminal technique of this authorities replaced into depending. Due procedure is basically not a similar. He ought to bypass.
