The President will not allow Gonzo to resign because he doesn't want a new impartial attorney general telling him he's acted illegally and broken numberous international and national laws. Gonzo won't take the initiative to resign because an impartial attorney general will nullify things like signing statements, torture policy, portions of the Patriot Act and make him look like the rubber stamp he really is. So we're stuck with him. I wish I could see a way around that fact but I can't. Here's the scoop.
