I can’t believe the balls this guy has. He’s the one who slips the provision in the Patriot Act that allows Gonzales to place US attorneys without congressional approval (at the request of the AG’s office), and now he’s talking about firing him. Arlen…..STFU. And these supposed “journalists” aren’t bothering to ask him why he did that to begin with. What a world…..

WASHINGTON - Republican support for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales eroded Sunday as three key senators sharply questioned his truthfulness and a Democrat joined the list of lawmakers who want him to resign over the firing of eight federal prosecutors.

Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Gonzales would have to step down if he did not tell the truth when he told Congress that he was not involved in discussions about a group of fired U.S. prosecutors at the center of the Washington controversy.

“We have to have an attorney general who is candid, truthful and if we find that he has not been candid and truthful, that’s a very compelling reason for him not to stay on,” Specter said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
