Some questions that Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales might face at his Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing on Thursday:
---
Q: What was your involvement in President Bush's February 2002 decision to sign an order saying he has the authority to suspend compliance with the Geneva Convention and that prisoner of war status does not apply to al-Qaida or "unlawful combatants" from the Taliban?
Q: Was there pressure to come up with a legal justification to make that decision, and if there was, from whom?
Q: What was your involvement in the now-disavowed Justice Department memoranda that said cruel, inhumane and degrading acts may not be considered torture if they don't produce intense pain and suffering?
Q: Why has the White House and the Justice Department refused to turn over all the documents and memoranda dealing with the treatment and questioning of foreign terrorism suspects?
Q: What was your involvement with the White House decision to classify Jose Padilla as an enemy combatant and hold him without charges in a South Carolina military prison?
Q: Will you recuse yourself from the Justice Department investigation into who in the Bush administration disclosed the name of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame?
Q: What was your involvement in keeping then-Texas Gov. Bush from jury duty in a drunken driving case in Austin, which helped information on his drunken driving arrest remain concealed?
Q: Will you file briefs calling for a reversal of Roe v. Wade in abortion-related cases before the Supreme Court?
That's okay...at least I got to see the article.:-)
They forgot to include "when did you stop beating your wife".
Thanks for the ping!
All this character asassination is concocted by NARAL and the abortionists to keep from having pro-life attorney general. That is the same reason they didn't like Ashcroft.
Also, this might prevent Gonzales from becoming a supreme court justice someday, too.
I still don't know if Gonzales has enough management experience to run a large department.
I'm muttering.....again.
I wonder which dem sideshow will get the most coverage, the Gonzales attack or the Bush election protest.
It's hard to believe just how hypocritical the left is. First they slam Condi for being a porch ni**r for Bush, and this from blacks and feminists who always whine there aren't enough of either up high. Now with hispanics. Good grief, where were they when Clinton was in charge? Oh yes, kissing his arse.
You may add Clarence Thomas to the long list. A new Tat-racist campaign is coming.
All this character asassination is concocted by NARAL and the abortionists to keep from having pro-life attorney general.I got a Freep mail from someone insinuating that Gonzales was pro-choice and I was taken aback but didn't have ammo to refute.
Thanks for that post. Does anyone have something I can link to to enlighten this other fellow ?
Anybody??
Thanks!
