Leahy To Gonzales, "I Don't Trust You!" - Now What Will The Senate Do About It?

A red faced Patrick Leahy (D - VT) looked Alberto Gonzales in the eye and said, "I don't trust you." Those words sum up what most Americans have thought for some time, and now a few Republicans are even agreeing. Arlen Specter (R-PA) said before the Senate Judiciary Committee, "the constitutional authority and responsibility for congressional oversight is gone." Sad day, this.

So Gonzales continues to lie and the Senate does nothing but vent their frustration during a hearing. Why not hold the Attorney General accountable? Charge him with perjury or any of a half dozen charges that would be applicable. Come on Congress and Senate are you public servants or just a bunch of whining wimps?
