I doubt if it will do any good, but I called both my U.S. Senators from Wisconsin to express my outrage that the Senate is wasting time with this stupid no-confidence vote regarding Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez.

Perhaps we can each demand that our Senators do what they were elected to do, what they swore to do, to protect and defend the Constitution.

... it can be argued that a vote of (no) confidence is a prohibited bill of attainder, given that it is a public chastisement (punishment) against an individual made in the name of the Senate, when the Senate has no such authorization.

I would love to see this argued before the USSC. I would also love to be part of the class action suit which originated the case.

A few years ago, Walter Williams suggested that we pay them each a million bucks a year to STAY HOME.

At 535 million, it would be a bargain.
