If there is a lesson to be learned from the disgrace of Alberto Gonzales, it is that placing royaltyabove judgement can be a hazardous thing. When newly elected Texas Governor George W. Bush pulled Gonzales from Houston law firm in 1994 to make him general council, the future President was looking for a legal bodyguard. He got one who would protect his interests for the next 13 years. In 1996, Gonzales helped Bush excused from the jury in drunk-driving case that could have forced the Governor to disclose in 1976 arrest. From 2001 tp 2005, he filled the role of White House counsel and transcriber of controversial Executive Orders. And as Attorney General, Gonzales allowed the use of political criteria in hiring career attorneys, a move that even those involved admitted "crossed the line".
