"... asserting that Mr. Gonzales's supervision of legal memorandums that appeared to sanction harsh treatment of detainees, even torture, showed unsound legal judgment."

Unfortunately, they might have a point on this one. From what I understand of Gonzalez, he believes the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of what is Constitutional and what isn't--he approved detainee treatment methods with the mindset that only the Supreme Court can determine what is Constitutional and what isn't. This may be the reason why Bush supported McCain-Feingold: Gonzalez told him it was okay because the Court is supposed to decide Constitutionality.

I hope I'm wrong, though.
