DEGETTE STATEMENT ON GONZALES RESIGNATION
Monday August 27, 2007WASHINGTON, DC - Chief Deputy Whip Diana DeGette (D-CO) today offered the following statement on the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales:
“The resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is long overdue,” said DeGette. “The political games the Bush Administration has played with our justice system have put its credibility into doubt. The Attorney General has not only lost the confidence of Congress, but has also abused the trust of the American people.
“It is crucial that President Bush use this opportunity to nominate a candidate who will restore the public’s trust in our judicial system.”
