Pressure is increasing on President Bush to dismiss Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Gonzales has been at the center of a pair of recent scandals involving the political purging of eight U.S. attorneys and the FBI’s misuse of the PATRIOT Act to gain personal information on thousands of Americans. On Sunday, New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation and called for Gonzales to step down. The editors of The New York Times have also called for his resignation. This comes as more details have emerged in the scandal over the purging of the U.S. attorneys.
