They need to inform the White House that either Alberto Gonzales goes or there’ll be no further judicial confirmation hearings in the U.S. Senate until he is gone.

Then, it’ll be up to the White House whether or not they want to keep Alberto “El Corrupto” Gonzales as Attorney General or they’d like to see some more hardcore, anti-abortion Republicans seated on the federal bench.

I figure they (Bush, Cheney and Rove) will want Gonzales to remain Attorney General to provide a “firewall,” to protect the worst administration in American history, from any criminal investigations or prosecutions.

And to have a blindly partisan Republican, like Gonzales, in charge of the DOJ up through the November 2008 elections, so they can try to reverse the results of the November 2006 elections, using any means possible, like they’ve done in previous elections.

Thus, no more “loyal Bushie” neo-fascist Republicans will be approved for the federal bench by the Democratic-controlled Senate during the remainder of Bush’s time as president. Unless, the most corrupt administration in U.S. history gets rid of Gonzales first.

Seems like a win-win move by the Democrats, in my view. Especially since there is bound to be heightened awareness of possible Gonzales/Rove/DOJ chicanery leading into the November 2008 elections. I know I’ll be watching closely.

Lieberman told the crowd that Obama had chosen Lieberman as his mentor.

from Hartford Courant, Mar 31, 2006.

don’t beleive the audacity of the hype – he’s a neo-con like his mentor, and you only hear what you want to hear from him now because the polls say it is safe.

How much blame do the electorate carry versus the elected for the eventual outcome?

I don’t think you bring a vote like this unless you know you can win. I think it gives Gonzo a bit of street cred for “winning” it.
Reid is weak in my mind. We need bold and thoughtful leadership. I’m impressed with Whitehouse. Let’s start a movement.

Whitehouse is a freshman, he’d never win. Besides, there is someone ever better than Whitehouse(and don’t get me wrong, I like Whitehouse). His name is Feingold. ;-)

Eureka Springs @ 190

Did he crack and vote for cloture?

No. But he’s shown a little independence in Judiciary. I was hoping…

Graham is like Specter, they talk tough, but when vote time comes, they keep on giving Bush everything he wants.

Abu is about one revelation, or perhaps beyond that away from getting his ass punted out of DC.

No purple state Republican up for re-election voted with him, some had the stones or sight to vote against him while the other cowards did not vote.

They are one revelation or piece of evidence away from 7 more votes. Also any idiot stupid enought to side with Abu can enjoy the campagin ad.

I agree that Harry Ried is weak tea, and was ready to try (or have the elected Dems I should say) to oust him from power. At the very least he appears very weak, and that is a problem. I am willing to give Nancy P one more chance (all of this based on the crap strategy and complete collapse with respect to the withdrawal from Iraq – assuming they did not actually do what they intended to do which would make it even worse)

The media seems to be really gearing up to defend agaist the collapse that seems to be completing – not sure why.

To say that the unfolding Justice scandel, and the clinging on of Abu is not important just does not pass the smell test.

Other items MSNBC and CNN are trying to block:
- Libby trial
- pre-September talk about the war
- anything Rove
- circle bash of Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Gore (while not even stooping to mention the pathetic Republicans)
- and are quite odd on Iran in that they have yet to look at the “evidence” and just take it on its face.

Lucky thing this site and others exposed Joe Lieberman otherwise he would remain a wolf in sheeps clothing as he works on the Republican nut-job agenda to nuke Iran amoung other foolish plots.
