Two years ago, PFAW vigorously opposed the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as U.S. Attorney General on the grounds that his loyalties were misplaced, showing a much greater commitment ? both personal and political ? to President Bush than to the law and the Constitution. It?s not just recent revelations that have confirmed our suspicions, but indeed Gonzales? entire record as Attorney General.
Here?s a quick glance:
Defended the Bush administration?s illegal domestic spying program, which operated in secrecy for years in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and was declared unconstitutional by a federal district court
Falsely suggested in testimony before Congress that the Constitution does not provide the right of habeas corpus
Continues to back the Bush administration?s authority to hold U.S. detainees without judicial review
Oversaw the Justice Department?s failure to fully enforce laws that protect every eligible American citizen?s right to vote
Undermined checks and balances by asserting that the courts have no right to judge the executive branch?s national security policies
