Mel Watts is IMMORAL AND unconscionable for gutting bill HR 1207 introduced by Ron Paul to audit the Federal Reserve. Included among Watt's biggest donors are American Express, Wachovia, Bank of America and the American Bankers Association. More than a third of his total campaign treasury was donated by the financial industry. Paul intends to fight for the bill.

IMPEACH!

IMPEACH!

[LetItBurnnn]

they can impeach if they want. But congress is scared of bush and all his buddies in the courts.

[OaktownUSA]

Moreover,

While it true that Federal Prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the president, they do not serve to please the president. Now what that means for those who have simple minds, is that the president can't use them to be his personal lackies, as he uses Gonzo. Kapiche?

[OaktownUSA]

Weddel,

You really demonstrate you naivity about politics when you write in this forum. I take it you are an uninformed youngster who gets all of your news from either your misguided parents or Fox News. Let me help you out: When you give someone the option to resign, you are actually firing them. There is no option.

[OaktownUSA]

Moreover, what the AG Gonzo has demonstrated at these hearings is that he is grossly unqualified to be the AG of the USA. With a faulty memory like his, he shouldn't even be trusted to park cars, let alone be the AG. If I were Harvard, I would be embarrassed for turning out such a bozo.

[4951WEDDEL]

All this demonstrates is that the Democrats want to force Gonzales out of office. They ask stupid questions about things of which they have no authority or responsibility. Their intention is to try and trip him up.

First, the Attorney General does not have to give a reason for asking for a US attorney to resign. Second, the Attorney General has every legal and ethical RIGHT to ask a US attorney to resign. This is nothing more than Democratic grandstanding.

[OaktownUSA]

Weddel,

It's pretty clear that you have been drinking the Republican Kool-Aid. otherwise you'd know that what you said has nothing to do with the situation as hand. The AG didn't ask anyone to resign, he fired them. You might want to learn the difference. In America, there is something called wrongful termination. These Attorney's in question were wrongfully terminated.

[4951WEDDEL]

These attorneys were given the option of resigning or being fired. Either way it does not matter. These are politically appointed positions. The President can replace them whenever he wants to. He does not need to even have to have a reason. Maybe he just wants a change, or to help someone build their resume by serving as a US attorney. He controls who serves in these positions, not the congress. They only confirm the people he appoints.

gonales must have alzheimer's or something he never remembers, recollect, or aware of anything

[wellingtonian]

Liar! Liar! pants on fire!

[Blues1956]

Alberto,

You are fired. Pack your bags. The American people deserve someone competent, honest and has a better memory than you to handle this extremely important position. If I were your boss, I would fire myself too.

[MRFBluth]

Good Questions.

[thatbamma]

Man, he's got nothing to hide! Why does he sound like he's lying? He should just say it "Presidents have the priviledge of replacing government attorneys, as many as he likes whenever he likes. Every President replaces some. One even replaced them all!"

[easymike]

Of course you realize that no president can or has fired USA's in mid term form political reasons. Gonzales is just another example of Bushco incompetence. Heck his whole department is/was incompetent. He has to sound like he's is lying because he doesn't have a grip on the department thatbamma. He like GW couldn't run water let alone a high level government department.

[thatbamma]

Well, regardless of timing, it doesn't make the move illegal. Political reasons is why any appointees or resignation requests are given out. It's a politcial reason to say that such and such attny wasn't pursuing the cases Bush liked, right? It's just not the media's politics, so they hate it.

[MRFBluth]

If he was innocent it wouldn't be a scandal. The problem isn't that attorneys were replaced for political reasons, it's WHEN they were replaced. Many of the attorneys were involved in cases the GOP didn't like, which means the Bush administration interferred with justice. You can't disreard the timing, that's ridiculous.

[thatbamma]

First, your YT handle is sweet! Second, if they were investigations into corruption of the administration thats one thing. But to my understanding there were cases being IGNORED by the atty's to give attention to other cases, and Bush wanted the ignored cases to take priority. If the atty's think differently, why shouldn't Bush be allowed to replace them? Like I said, as long as it wasn't investigations into corruption in the admin.

[nicelinguist]

You yourself admit that he looks like he's lying. Well, people lie about things they are culpable for, even if it's not illegal. If the White House had these prosecutors fired, that undermines the autonomy of the Justice Department. Instead of impartial justice, they are forced to prioritize partisan interests and turn into a wing of the Republican party. That undermines checks and balances and really, the rule of law in our country. That's the issue.

[thatbamma]

He's a member of Bush's cabinet, he's going to listen to the suggestions of his boss unless there is something illegal or grossly immoral going on. IF replacing the atty's was a decision based on the explained above comments, by what legal language is Gonzalez obliged to dissent?

[MRFBluth]

Thanks for the compliment. "Come On!" Gonzales is like a nevernude. He just needs to take off his cutoffs and let it all hang out in the open. Then Congress can move onto investigating another scandal.

[thatbamma]

Yeah, like the guy who's wearing a 6,000 dollar suit is going to tell the truth to Congress...Come On!

[MRFBluth]

Nice.

[easymike]

Political reasons ie: to promote an agenda to keep Republicans in power, manipulate elections or prosecutions is illegal. Hiring based on political affiliation and making the Civil Rights or any other division of the DOJ an arm of the Republican Party is illegal. Hiring inexperienced supplicants like Sampson and Goodling to review and fire experienced USA's as manipulated by Karl Rove while AG Gonzales doesn't have a clue is unconscionable. That is what the investigation is about

[easymike]

"It's just not the media's politics, so they hate it" is BS thatbamma. If members of the corporate media cocoon were doing their jobs as professional journalists there wouldn't be confusion over the reason for the investigation. In fact our government would not have devolved to the level of corruption and illegal aggression that it has. CSPAN, Youtube and the emergence of a semblance of (digitally driven) independent media may save our asses from a spineless mainstream media.

[thatbamma]

I agree that our media is spineless, on both sides. I'm not sure I follow how it caused our gov't to become more corrupt than it already was, though. The only thing I can think is by showing the People limited views of atrocites it has influenced what they want our politicians to be focused on. Is that close?

[easymike]

The fourth estate is supposed to be the watchdog of government and business not an advocate for either. Since our media has become corporate profit centers they no longer practice ethical journalism. Honest journalists who new and reported the lies that led us to an illegal aggression and election fraud were ignored by mainstream corporate media. Given accurate factual information the public will react accordingly. Yes you are on the path thatbamma.

[thatbamma]

That would mean we can't trust the bombardment of negative press on this issue, or other prominent issues as well. Bad news sells, if it bleeds it leads, as the saying in the business goes. So perhaps these corporate profit moguls are withholding good news in order to boost ratings. Thus influencing public opinion very negatively.

[easymike]

... or with holding negative information about corporations, environment, etc. Not all negative information is erroneous while fair and balanced has nothing to do with journalistic ethics. The first goal of journalism is to assemble the facts and report the truth no matter what. The truth is never fair and balanced. Watching the procedures of hearings allows the viewer to witness the facts as they are discovered.

[thatbamma]

I absolutely agree, these public hearings being on YT is important and we are lucky to have access to them now. I do believe CSPAN has always had them, but not too many people enjoy that programming. I've been known to watch a little, but I can't sit and watch for hours.

[wiskawind]

Alberto Gonzales is such a lier! He is nothing more than a corrupt puppet for the White House!
