Should Bush fire Gonzalez?

Answer 1

I don't have enough facts (certainly not from all the opinions the media has posted) to make that decision. I'm sure President Bush does. However, who would want the job? One of the most productive top-level management styles is to give your subordinates a great deal of maneuver room but one still has to know what is going on. The SoJ apparently failed in this but no laws were broken - the fired prosecutors simply made the choice of ignoring their boss's stated priorities for personal reasons and should have known what the consequences were. They may have been good reasons to fall on their own swords but whining about it later shows poor character. If he were to be fired, would the slim-pickings replacement be any better? Probably not and since the SoJ has to try to control the rogue FBI agency who now have extraordinary, extremely abusable powers thanks to the poorly written USA Tyranny Act (often called the Patriot Act). I just think this one should wait for the next Administration. After all, Reno was a yes-man if I ever saw one and she ordered a mass murder by the FBI/BATF at Waco and few seriously demanded her resignation. That was by far worse then anything Gonzales ever did.

Answer 2

Gonzo's midnight trip to the hospital to try and make Ashcroft sign off on warrant-less wire-taps should be enough of a reason to impeach him. This man has done more to take away our civil rights than anyone in recent history. Rendition, torture, illegal wire-taps, etc. are some of his blunders. We need to get rid of him as soon as possible, any way possible.

Answer 3

He's too connected to the Hispanic population via being Texas Governor and his sister-in-law, neice and nephew are Hispanic. He probably wishes he would resign to stop the controversy, but he will not fire him.

Answer 4

I say fire Gonzalez, and impeach BUSH! Lets get some competent leadership back! :)
