Alberto Gonzales has resigned. I would break out the dancing Snoopy because I’m so happy to be rid of him, but the fact that it will make the Democrats happy and that he will likely be replaced by the even more incompetent Michael Chertoff is nothing to cheer.

Question: “Why is it so hard to find Republican politicians who truly support and will fight for smaller government? Why is it that no serious candidates are willing to make this a defining issue?

Question: “I am wondering just how our Government found itself in such a mess with immigration enforcement.
