Gonzales Urges Mandatory Minimums for All Federal Crimes
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales urges a quick fix to this year's Booker decison of the Supreme Court. (By the way, if you are a new reader of TalkLeft, regular contributor TChris persuasively argued that case to the Supreme Court)

Even the Washington Post disagrees with him.
