"However, the president will certainly exert pressure to support the attorney general, his longtime friend," Schumer added. "We will soon see where people's loyalties lie."

I propose a no confidence vote on everyone in DC. Start with Kennedy, then Schumer, then Hillary, then Pelosi.
No ... move Reid ahead of Pelosi. Then ...

No confidence, that was 6 months ago, we are now well past that.......Impeach him for his multiple lies, lack of integrity and outright disdain for civil rights. He must go!

To me, the most appalling of all is the midnight visit to the bedside of Ashcroft to try to get a signature for what he had already been told was illegal.
I say, ride old Speedy out of town on a rail. Just as soon as you're done with the tarring and feathering. My friend Ruby (avatar) has volunteered a few feathers and says she will talk to the rest of the girls about contributing some.

No confidence vote!
This ain't a parliament!
Do it right or don't do it.
If you got the cards play your hand. If not don't bluff.
This president doesn't waiver at every poll,at every wayward wind, at every huff and puff.
If you got the cards play your hand. If not don't bluff.
This country is tired of this b.s.
Because all you do is hiss and 3.14's

If the No Confidence Vote is the best they can do, then they should all vote it unanimously! With the performance that man did in the hearings, if it doesn't show him a liar, then it shows an incompetent that has no business holding onto that position.

Obviously the dems in the Senate are once again trying to steer our eyes away from what they are'nt doing, by crucifying someone who has fired 1/16 of the people Clinton did. Maybe Gonzales should resign, that way they could no longer pretend they are getting something done, and actually do some work.

He tried his best to do the bidding of his bosses, like most of us do. However few if any have any confidence in him. A no confidence vote is justified. In presiding over the justice dept. his performance has to be considered as feeble, flawed & frail.

Alberto Gonzales, J.D., Harvard University, 1982
George W. Bush, M.B.A., Harvard University, 1975
Based on this sample, better to send your kids to a state university.

I have an old pencil from the 1970's with a rubber "Speedy Gonzales" for an eraser. Remember "Speedy"? It's now a Federal offense to own a pencil with such an eraser. I'm risking my freedom by telling Y'all this.

Does anybody even give one rats behind about this. We already know he did nothing wrong. And that Senate vote for or against is only good for liberal press headlines.

what the hell is a non confidence vote? it won't do ratchit to get this corrupt political hack out of office.
Most of the cons here should be arrested for grave robbing all they can do is dig up long dead issues to answer those who are trying to correct the malfeasance that is occurring now.
One bright hope - 16 months & counting

Gonzales is in all our houses - don't you get it? what he does affects us all - what Jefferson does affect few -except those who need him to blind us to the true malady affecting our country.

aniokly: It is about time the Democrats got to work on what we sent them there to do--clear out the right wing perverters of all that is good and important about government. That has nothing to do with sex in the White House. That has been going on as long as it has been occupied, and some of the best Presidents have been womanizers, starting with Jefferson who was the only one young enough to enjoy a good romp with Dolly Madison--unless Washington was doing Betsy Ross. So what. They knew better than to corrupt the Justice Department with the likes of Ms Goodling from Regency pseudo law school and Gonzo the Corrupt who has been trying to bury the Constitution for the right wing neo-CONS!
The only really corrupt maladministrations in history have been Republicans after Teddy Roosevelt--starting with the corrupt Taft!

Let Dubya keep this shining sample of juridical rectitude!
Bet the entire Senate will have a HARD time approving any Supreme Court nominee presented (and selected) by this AG...
