Alberto Gonzales Says Judges Should Always Defer To Presidents WIll

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is a man who apparently has no knowledge of the US Constitution. He apparently has little respect for the American governmental system of checks and balances, and he would better be suited as a PR man than Attorney General of the United States. More accurately, his loyalty to President Bush always comes first over and above his loyalty to the US Constitution.

This is a dangerous situation. The Attorney General is there to advise and council, as well as prosecute the low on behalf of the People of the country. Instead, Gonzales spends his time justifying the dictatorial actions of President Bush and his cronies. He criticizes the congress and courts and single-handedly declares what is and is not constitutional. This is not his job. The courts decide the constitutionality of the law; lawyers prosecute cases. Gonzales is supposedly a lawyer.

Bush surrounds himself with loyalists and yes men who will not speak truth to the high office of the Presidency. That is a very foolish and dangerous thing to do. Without rational voices and serious debate, a Presidency is little more than a dictator, and that is completely against our Constitution.

Gonzales latest stunt is to say that US judges are unfit to rule on matters of national security. In other words, by decree, the president should be able to dub anything a matter of national security and the courts and the public be damned. Enough is enough! Bush, Cheney, Gonzales and the other criminals must be removed from their powerful seats. Impeachment cannot come soon enough if the republic is to survive.
