Most of us recall that Gonzales was no hero on the life issues during his term as a Texas judge.

Surprise! He's STILL not a hero on the life issues.

Very interesting. An attorney general whose first priority is the law. Who'd'a thunk it?

Yet not one of these gutless wonders accusing Gonzales was willing to be identified. What do you make of that?

This orgy of blaming Republicans for being unable to save Terri is the ultimate in political insanity.

Unfortunately, it's the routine post at FR these days.

Pathetic.

We should not expect the AG to be about crafting some perfect, legal excuse for protecting and preserving innocent life. It is a matter for the people and all branches of government to be about. In this case, all three branches of government have abdicated their responsibilities. So have a good many citizens.

I reckon he's too busy going after the tobacco companies, crafting new "Assault" Weapon Ban legislation and attending La Raza meetings.

Frankly, I think he is as bad as some of the most Liberal judges. He will not use law to help Schiavo, but he will not enforce it on immigration matters.

Sounds like AG Gonzales was the only one in the Republican ranks that believed is states' rights.

Kudos Mr. Gonzales!

Too bad you are surrounded by Republican'ts that act like Democrats.

He was definitely conspicuous by his absence. Too bad - I had hoped for better things from him.

Don't you all realize that it is the courts that should be interpreting the law and it's applications. It's checks and balances. It's sad that Congress had to intervene, and Gonzalez was just telling them that Congress interfering isn't very legal. Emotions shouldn't overrun sound principles. Hold the judges and courts responsible for bad decisions, not Congress, or the Governor, or the President, because it isn't their fault or even their problem to deal with. We all hate judges who legislate from the bench, so I think the judges (and AG) have every right to hate legislatures judiciating from the capitol.

Excuse me but I seem to remember a few of you Freepers complaining about the prolife Freepers complaints about the new AG. We can see what your opinions were worth.

By most accounts, Gonzales and his team fared poorly, at least from Republican viewpoints.

He's been busy attending La Raza dinners honoring him. Be patient and give him a chance to get around to the "Anglo" issues.

Maybe Gonzales was too busy investigating Sandy Berger. Remember him? He was the dude caught red-handed stuffing classified documents down his pants at the National Archives!!!!! How sweet swift justice is......
