When the Democrats are calling for the resignation of a Republican I want to see go anyway, I would rather keep him around than give them their pound of flesh. See: Trent Lott after the Thurmond birthday comments. I wanted him out of his leadership position, but not in a way that would give the Democrats a victory.
That said, Gonzales is now helping the Democrats to create a scandal that doesn't exist, so he needs to get the hell out of there. Can't believe Bush wanted this cretin on the Court.

Agreed. There was no scandal until his people started lying to Congress. Now what was a minor political scuffle is an actual scandal, and now it has legs.

We'll never know just how lucky we are that his nomination was scuttled. We dodged a real bullet there - if he had made it to SCOTUS we'd be stuck with him for a generation.
