Herseth Sandlin Statement on Gonzales Resignation August 27, 2007, Washington, D.C. – Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin released the following statement today regarding the resignation of U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales: "The nation's top law enforcement officer should be focused on keeping our nation safe, bringing criminals to justice, and fairly and evenly administering the law. Unfortunately, there were clear signs that Mr. Gonzales too often let partisan politics get in the way of the responsibility that came with his position, including several misjudgments that cost him the confidence of many. "I am hopeful that this resignation will allow the Congress and the American people to move on and move forward."
