C-span 2..Debate on Gonzales Day 2 ~ Vote today [LIVE THREAD]
Thomas ^ | 2-02-05 | Senate

Posted on 02/02/2005 6:33:50 AM PST by OXENinFLA

PROGRAM -- (Senate - February 01, 2005)

Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General. A number of colleagues spoke on this nomination today, and we expect a full day of debate tomorrow as well. Under the agreement, we will alternate debate in 1-hour blocks throughout the day. Again, I encourage those Members who wish to speak on the Gonzales nomination to contact the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee as soon as possible.

ORDERS FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 -- (Senate - February 01, 2005) Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:15 a.m. on Wednesday, February 2. I further ask that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved, and at 9:30 a.m. the Senate proceed to executive session and resume consideration of the nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General, as provided under the previous order; provided that at 2:30 p.m. Senator Byrd be recognized for up to 1 hour.

Absence of a quorum and roll call gives him time for a rest and getting Vol.II of his speech.

why would Bush have had to hire an outside attorney for the Plume affair.

A potential criminal investigation, which is not part of his job description , potential conflict of interest issues (perceived more than real), keeping Gonzales as far away from that mess as possible. Just a few thoughts.

My g-d, was that Durban saying that Gonzales presided over prison treatment equal to the way the Japanese treated our prisoners?

Yep

Fax them plain white sheets of paper :0)

The La Raza comment came from Michele Malkin.

And no, I have nothing from Gonzales' mouth - I don't speak with him personally, I get my information from other people and this what other sources are stating about him, hardly liberal ones.

Wouldn't it be best to hear it from the man instead of accusing him of something that someone else says he said?

I had this thought listening to Byrd. Bank robbed, perpetrators caught, tried and found guilty. Police still refusing to take responsibility for original bank robbery.

Long and short. Whether he likes the laws or not, he'll enforce the laws on the books.

Which is what Ashcroft said and did also
