The bi-partisan push for Gonzales to step down as U.S. Atorney General continues.  Sen. Arlen Specter said yesterday on Fox News Sunday that if Gonzales remains the country’s top lawyer, there will be continue to be negative consquences for the Deptartment of Justice and career federal prosecutors at the agency.

“I think, no doubt, it is bad for the Department of Justice. It is harmful,” Specter aserted.

The ranking GOP member of the Senate Judiciary Committee advised that he did not feel it was appropriate for him to call for Gonzales to resign over the U.S. Attorney firings scandal.  “However, in the final analysis, ” Specter explained, “there are two people involved in the decision, and that is the attorney general to make it himself, and, if he decides to stay on, for the president.“
