Republican Congressman Vern Ehlers of Grand Rapids says he thinks U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should step down.If you ask me, the fact that Ehlers and another Republican congressman have called on Gonzales to step down, seems to weaken the argument that this is just a witch-hunt.
Ehlers made the remarks before giving an update on the Congress and current events at a noon event at Calvin College.
Gonzales is under fire from the Democratically-controlled Congress for the recent firing of eight U.S. attorneys, including one from West Michigan.
Ehlers won't comment on the merits of the firings but says he disapproves of the way Gonzales carried them out.
Thanks to Nazgul at Michigan Liberal for pointing this out.
