U.S. Attorney General Roberto Gonzales' approval of secret renditions and torture has already undermined respect for both the U.S. Constitution and the Geneva Conventions. Now he is determined to politicize and undermine confidence in our entire federal system of justice.
McClatchy Newspapers have published a story about "Gonzales appoints political loyalists into vacant U.S. attorneys slots." The vacant slots are being created by Gonzales' purging of independent-minded prosecutors.
The foundations of this administration's concept of rule-of-law are becoming crystal clear. It is the law of the jungle: might makes right. As long as this administration holds the mechanisms of political power, it can and it will do whatever it pleases.
This administration's contempt for the rule of law and it's cynical manipulation of the institutions of constitutional democracy are criminal.
