I don't do politics but I do sometimes do history. It is in that context that I commend to your attention Professor James Grimmelmann's very interesting post over at PrawfsBlawg relating to the no confidence vote on Attorney General Gonzales currently being debated in Congress.
It seems that in 1886, Congressional Republicans passed a resolution censuring the then Attorney General, Augustus Garland, who had refused to turn over executive papers relating to his dismissal of a U.S. attorney from the southern district of Alabama.
Sound familiar?
