Blog for America on Alberto Gonzalez
Yesterday George Bush nominated White House Counsel and former Texas Supreme Court Justice Alberto Gonzales to replace John Ashcroft as Attorney General. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) has expressed serious concerns about the nomination:
"I commend Mr. Gonzales on his nomination to be Attorney General, but I'm concerned about aspects of his record as White House Counsel that raise doubts about his commitment to the rule of law. Even Secretary of State Powell objected to Mr. Gonzales' memorandum undermining the Geneva Conventions, which Mr. Gonzales called 'obsolete' and 'quaint.' "
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has issued a statement that was less specific, but in some ways just as telling:
"These confirmation hearings will be a rare opportunity for the Senate and the public to finally get some answers on several issues for which the Administration has resisted accountability, including its use of the PATRIOT Act, the lack of cooperation with Congress on oversight, and the policies that have been rejected by the courts on the treatment of detainees. This also may be the only remaining forum in which to examine more fully the steps that were taken to weaken U.S. policy on torture in the period that led to the prison scandals at Abu Ghraib and Afghanistan."
The ACLU has called for thorough confirmation hearings, urging Senators to press him on issues of civil liberties.

As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load." The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street http://macysparade.bravehost.com

A guy is walking down the street and stops a man to ask for the time. The man, looking at his watch, helpfully responds, "Why, certainly! The time is now four o'clock." http://mukluks.bravehost.com

Late for work already, I was annoyed to find a strange car in my reserved parking space again. After locating a spot far away, I stormed into my office determined to have the car towed... http://chadwicks.bravehost.com

Can you please tell me how long the Gonzales confirmation hearings might take? Is there any limit to the questions the Committee might ask? What is the best coverage of the hearings (govt or media)?
Thank you | |
