Alberto Gonzales Steps Down

In case you haven't already heard, Gonzales stepped down as US Attorney General today. It is hard to overstate just how poorly he has performed his job of "upholding and protecting the United States Constitution."

For many in the media and the Democratic Party, Gonzales's legacy will be the US Attorney scandal which may or may not have had real importance for the Republic. What does matter and is directly relevant to our current situation is his prominent role in developing the Administration's positions on torture and domestic spying.

There's no doubt his legacy will be "dismal," but it is important he be remembered for the really outrageous behavior, not just the politically-motivated attorney scandal.

Free-for-all (frfr-ôl) -- n. A disorderly fight, argument, or competition in which everyone present participates.
