| hsmith scoops   About time, this dude had no freaking business as the AG in the first place, hopefully whoever Bush replaces him with is someone who'll be less of a lackey and try to restore SOME measure of integrity to the office / DoJ | ||||

| It will be pretty interesting to see who he picks. He has to worry about the patriot act staying put, and it could prove difficult to find another attorney general to back that up unless he promotes from within the current justice department...which would be its own mess. | ||||

Schumer: He's 'done the right thing and stepped down'... Kennedy: 'I strongly urge President Bush to nominate a new attorney general who will respect our laws'... Edwards: 'Better late than never'... McConnell: 'I thank Alberto Gonzales for his public service'... Blunt: 'I appreciate his hard work in defense of our country'... Obama: 'Gonzales subverted justice to promote a political agenda'...
