U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard commented today regarding the resignation of U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales:
“By offering his resignation now, Alberto Gonzales has acted in the best interest of the nation,” said Allard. “After a contentious year at the Justice Department, the Attorney General’s resignation seems to be fitting at this time. It is my hope that we can quickly confirm a qualified candidate to lead the Justice Department and work to protect America against future acts of terrorism while upholding our values and legal obligations.”
U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar:
Today, United States Senator Ken Salazar released the following statement on the resignation of United States Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
“I had called for Alberto Gonzales’ resignation several months ago. With his resignation today, I am hopeful that the American people can have their confidence restored in the Department of Justice. This is an opportunity for a fresh start and I look forward to the President bringing new leadership to a Department that has become overly politicized.”
Rep. Tom Tancredo:
“As one who called for Mr. Gonzales resignation months ago, I’m not shedding any tears over news of his departure. I hope that President Bush will take this opportunity to replace Mr. Gonzales with someone who will actually demonstrate a commitment to enforcing our laws.”
