It looks like Alberto Gonzales will indeed be making history. Apparently, the last time a cabinet officer was impeached was 1896. And because he believes that justice is a partisan sport, Alberto Gonzales appears to be next.

According to Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Washington, 1st District), who is sponsoring the resolution [.pdf] directing the Judiciary Committee to investigate whether the Attorney General should be impeached, Mr. Gonzales’ high crimes and misdemeanors include:

1. A wholesale “Thursday night massacre” of numerous United States Attorney Generals who refused to do partisan bidding there by interjecting of partisanship into the judicial system.
2. Contrary to his statements, Attorney General Gonzales has abused the FISA court rule and and then tried to cover it up.
3. On multiple occasion he refused to tell the truth to the U.S. congress and more importantly the people of the United States.
