Specter expects Gonzales to resign

I wonder if it has dawned on Specter or anyone else, for that matter, on either side of the grand canyon of American politics known as the aisle, that the damage is likely done.

It will take years to undo this mess, not only because of the revelations of GOP/Bushite thuggery surrounding Gonzo-gate, but because of the obvious links between the U.S. attorney firings and our electoral process.

WASHINGTON — Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, predicted today that the probe of firings of federal prosecutors would lead to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Specter said the Justice Department can't properly protect the nation from terrorism or oversee other programs with Gonzales at the helm.

'I have a sense that when we finish our investigation, we may have the conclusion of the tenure of the attorney general,' Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, said during a committee hearing. 'I think when our investigation is concluded, it'll be clear even to the attorney general and the president that we're looking at a dysfunctional department which is vital to the national welfare.'
