    He Needs to Go

    He has compromised the credibility of the Department of Justice, the day to day staff at the department have no faith in the leadership of their organization.

    If this were a law firm, he'd have been forced out. If this were a corporation, he'd have been fired. If the board couldn't bring themselves to fire him, the shareholders can always push to get him out and he would have to go.

    We the People are the shareholders, we need to contact our proxies (Congress, the White House) and demand Gonzales go.

    We also need to fire the CEO and his VP while we're at it.
