You know, if he resigns, great. But what happens then. I want the guy charged with perjury. Let’s see THAT happen. And Snarlin Arlen Specter needs to go, too. The provision added to a bill (in the middle of the night) to allow Bush/Gonzales to replace US attorneys without congressional approval came from his office. Why hasn’t anyone in congress made HIM answer as to WHY he felt the need to do that? And now he has the balls to say he thinks Gonzales should resign. He’s the biggest flip flopping liar there is.

The top Republican on the Senate committee investigating Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Sunday he believes Gonzales could step down before a no-confidence vote sought this week by Senate Democrats.

Gonzales failed to draw a public statement of support from Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. Asked whether Gonzales effectively can lead the Justice Department, McConnell said “that’s for the president to decide.” The senator suggested there may be several resolutions introduced to dilute a no-confidence vote.

“In the Senate, nobody gets a clear shot,” said McConnell, R-Ky.

Yet Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he believed a “sizable number” of GOP lawmakers would join Democrats in expressing their lack of confidence in the attorney general.

Five Republicans have urged Gonzales to resign over his firing of federal prosecutors, while several other Republicans have expressed criticism of his actions.

“Votes of no confidence are very rare,” Specter said. “Historically, that is something which Attorney General Gonzales would like to avoid. I think that if and when he sees that coming, he would prefer to avoid that kind of a historical black mark.”
