NY Times: Prosecute or Impeach Gonzales

An editorial in The New York Times calls for the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the apparent lies and/or truth twisting of the incompetent Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. If Solicitor General Paul Clement fails in his duty, says the Times, Congress should impeach Gonzales.

Asking the impotent Democrats in Congress to take any kind of action, let alone impeachment, is like asking the leopard to change its spots - it can't be done.

Time and again the Democrats have backed down from the important fight. Why should anyone think they will start doing their job now?
