That's a valid point..except that most of the Dem senators who have spoken, and said they would vote against Gonzales, have all said they expected him to be confirmed..I guess we're trying to fathom the Dem mindset..and since it's far too early fro me to start drinking..

Yes, but all that says is that they expect to have a vote at some point and not filibuster the nomination... Most if not all the Judges that they filibustered would have been confirmed had a vote been held... The question is when. I hope it is today or early sometime tomorrow prior to the SOTU address.

You are right about trying to figure out their mindset....
