Today’s Action Alert is simple: Call or write your senators and tell them to vote against confirming Gonzales as Attorney General. America neither needs nor wants an Attorney General who clearly believes that the president is above the law and has advised him that torture is justified.
Frankly, we shouldn’t have to do this. Gonzales should never have been nominated – he should be facing disbarment instead. It is a disgrace that he advised the administration that it could freely violate the law. If he is affirmed as Attorney General, this country will never live it down.
