Gonzales Resigns

It's about time. Apparently, like other things, he didn't tell anyone at the Dept of Justice about it and they're all surprised. I doubt we'll know what caused it to happen now.

The question is who will replace him. Given the resignations of so many top people at Justice, it seems unlikely they'll promote from within (though I don't know much about who is there). DHS chief Michael Chernoff and Sen Orin Hatch (R-UT) are being spoken about. I also heard this morning that there are new indicators of an Al Qaeda attack, so maybe it's not the best time to change the head of Homeland Security. Then again, maybe Chernoff wants to flee before it gets bad.
