Alberto Gonzales was one of the worst Attorney Generals in modern American history.
He was a man truly out of his depth who was installed as a crass political operative at a time when the nation deserved a professional Justice leader and defender of the Constitution.
Gonzales was simply a political hack doing the bidding of the White House – not an independent voice of reason and sanity.
This politically beholden Attorney General Alberto Gonzales did so much damage in so little time – especially to the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Divisions.
The Department of Justice will be hard pressed to soon recover any semblance of the integrity and regard it has now lost as a result of the many indefensible actions of Alberto Gonzales.
