By now it should be clear to everyone that we have an Attorney General who views the rule of law with contempt. If the comment about the "quaint" Geneva Conventions, the torture memo, or the U.S. Attorney scandal weren't evidence enough, James Comey's testimony this week clenches it.
However, the situation could have been worse.
Remember, President Bush only nominated Gonzalez to the AG office, because he was blocked from rewarding the White House Legal Counsel with a Supreme Court position. In that case, Gonzales would have had a lifetime appointment to a position responsible for interpreting the law for the country. As it is, he'll only be interpreting the law as AG for another year and a half, at most. Then he can go back to private practice.
