Conservative Voice

Patrick Leahy is strangely ignorant for a Senator with so much experience. I’m so tired of hearing his tired whining about the new head of the Justice Department and how he had better not be dishonest and do bad things for the President the way that evil Alberto Gonzales did.

First of all, Gonzales didn’t do anything wrong. There is only the appearance of wrongdoing. And of course, that appearance of wrongdoing comes from liberals like Leahy whining about him and the press eagerly echoing the whines. Gonzales may have approved the firings of a few AGs, but he had every right to do that. And if the President thought he should do it, there’s nothing wrong with that either. The US Attorney General is a cabinet-level position that is appointed by the President. He is in the Executive Branch of Government. He works for the President, not Congress. And people under him can be hired or fired by him. Leahy needs to google “three branches of U.S. Government” and try to understand how these three branches work. A little knowledge on this subject might help him understand his job a little better as a Senator and as the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and keep him from making a fool of himself repeatedly.
