Gonzales misrepresented role in assisting President Bush escape jury duty
The controversy continues to build over Bush's nominee to be the chief law enforcement official of the United States of America. We know about Gonzales's role in creating an intellectual climate in the White House where torture could be freely discussed as an option, and we know that an unprecedented number of military leaders oppose his nomination.
Now, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has filed a complaint against Gonzales with the Texas State Bar charging that the nominee lied about his role in a Texas courtroom when representing Bush, then Governor of Texas, who wanted to get out of jury duty. It was feared that Bush's DUI convictions would be made public; the case he was being called to serve on was a drunk-driving case.
