So what? It's perfectly fine for the President to fire US Attorneys, even for political reasons. And he doesn't need Congressional approval to do so.

Of course it's perfectly fine to do so. The problem is that Gonzales pussyfooted around and lied about his involvement as if it were shameful, which it isn't. Gonzales made his own bed of nails, and now he must lie in it. The whole administration needs to learn, and maybe this is the painful lesson that teaches them finally, that you don't show weakness or faltering in front of a newly emboldened Dim party.
Maybe its just as well if Gonzales goes. He was never a bright legal mind, and his mistakes are many. Get someone competent in there with a spine.
