Gonzales Wins Confirmation as Attorney General
Reuters ^ | Feb 3, 2005 | Reuters

Posted on 02/03/2005 2:04:03 PM PST by mdittmar

White House counsel Alberto Gonzales survived a Democratic wall of opposition on Thursday to win U.S. Senate confirmation as the nation's next attorney general. He will be the first Hispanic-American to hold the post.

In approving Gonzales, the Republican-led Senate rejected Democratic complaints he had helped craft administration policies that contributed to the torture of foreign detainees following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

I hope you noticed that I have debunked the "he's a high official/member of LaRaz" crap, too.

No, I must have missed the thread where you did it. I never believed the assertion, but I'm glad you finally disproved it.

Yeah, sure is. He represents the whole state. The reason he didn't vote is because he's in Great Falls, MT with the President.

Haven't we learned that Alberto Gonzales supports open borders?

Debunked, I believe.

Yeah, she shed some light on a Democrat California lawyer (a La Raza lawyer no less) who's name is exactly the same as the new AG.

Last night on one of the programs, the memo was traced and he did not write it . I can't remember where it came from or how it progressed but he was not the author of the memo!
