thinkprogress.org — Durin today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was asked whether any U.S. citizens are “being held today, for over a month, who have been denied habeas corpus or access to an attorney.” Instead of giving an answer, Gonzales replied, “[Y]ou’re asking me a question I hadn’t really thought about."

Even if they are reading this, how can they defend him when he's talking like an idiot.

He feels he writes and "upholds" the laws so he's entitled to them for his own benefit. He will come down. That's the least of our problems however. All criminals must be prosecuted and due process awaits!Peace from Detroit

Candyland is looking for a new GA and I think Gonzo's got significant qualifications for the job.Seriously, this guy must have his head jammed way up between his legs because...there's just no explanation...this is absolutely unacceptable. We're not talking about someone who's the treasurer of their high school class we're talking about the GA for our f***ing country. This administration is a joke and should go down in history as one of the worst EVER, period.

Now why would anyone expect the United States Attorney General to ever think about whether a citizen is being held in violation of the US Constitution? Of course he doesn't ever think about it, because if he ever thought about it, he might have to investigate to find out the answer, and well, that might mean taking some sort of action to defend the constitution or something, and well, we wouldn't want that.

Gonzales isn't stupid. You think he's going to admit to knowingly breaching the constitution? All the 'I don't knows' were a calculated attempt to avoid prosecution. Similar to the gap on the nixon tapes.
