GONZALES RESIGNS: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' Biggest Mistake was.....!

It is a sad day for the United States of America when the top law enforcement officer has to resign under a cloud of all kinds of charges, suspicions, innuendos, and basically a loss of trust and confidence. No one in the media, as far as I have seen, is focusing on exactly what has caused Mr Gonzales’ down fall. Perhaps, the Congress got to the heart of things during some of their hearings. But otherwise, the emphasis has been on his errors in judgement for-purportedly- lying about his role in the firing of eight federal prosecutors, coupled with alleged partisanship in the execution of his office.

But his resignation is primarily the result of one fatal mistake in judgment above all others. And that was his decision to place loyalty to the President over that of the Constitution for which he swore to uphold. Thus, no public servant should ever subordinate his or her loyalty for the laws of the land to any man, president, political party or ideology. But that is exactly what Alberto did, sadly. And to his own detriment. But the Constitution remains in tact, strong as ever because of its own inherent systematic check-and balance process. You decide!
