Oath of office
The oath of office that Gonzales swore
"I (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to
the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental
reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully
discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So
help me God."

followed up by this quote
How soon we forget history... Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force. And, like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
George Washington

Oh well, some people take take their oathes very seriously, others once in office totally ignore them, which path do you think gonzales following?

Or is it, the ends justify the means, and the means justify the ends, in defying all congressional legislation todate!
