Below is a statement from U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter regarding Attorney General Albert Gonzales’ resignation:

"Attorney General Gonzales’ resignation is long overdue. His lack of truth and candor to Congress and the American people has eroded public confidence in our justice system. Our new attorney general must adhere to and enforce the rule of law, not the rules of politics. I urge the President to work in a bipartisan fashion to appoint someone who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States independent of political influence."
