YES!!! My point exactly!!! It was of paramount importance that Gonzales NOT be appointed to SCOTUS. And now he won't be!!! We should be rejoicing, not attacking our President!!!
And it's unrealistic to think that Bush would cut short Gonzales' term at USAG only to appoint another USAG who would also have an abbreviated term. Bush would not play such games with an office so important to our national security.
What makes you say that? Being attorney general doesn't disqualify you from being nominated for the Supreme Court. Quite the opposite, it's a prestigious stepping stone.
