God, for the sake of justice, deliver us.
As I was driving to work this morning on a country road here in Northern Colorado, I came upon a sheriffs car that had pulled over a large van. Sitting in the grass were about 10 illegal aliens and the officer was watching them and waiting.
Later that day I stopped in at the local police station to inquire as to what happened. The officer told me "We had to let them go, we can't do anything."
Thanks a lot Gonzales. You are doing your job real well Gonzales.
I heard Gonzales (on Hannity I believe) try to explain why the US doesn't need to control the boder with Mexico. Just like with Bush (who never directly addresses it), none of it made ANY sense. If Rove doesn't believe the border is going to be a hot topic for 2006 & '08, he's not talking to the right people.
also, the idea that a gonzales pick would bring the hispanic vote into the GOP is just laugh out loud funny.
What will bring hispanics into the GOP is a stronger embrace of conservative values.
And besides, Garza and Estrada are hispanic and would be much better selections.
Gonzales is a mediocre choice.
Well there is a history and precedent for SC Justices to recuse themselves from cases that involve issues that they worked upon before they sat on the SC.
Reinquist had to recuse himself from quite a few cases during the Nixon era.
Gonzales doesn't "have" to, but he will, because that is the way it is done.

Remember, the only authority higher in the legal profession is the Congress which can, of course, impeach, try, convict and remove a justice.
When we start voting in real Republicans. In the meantime, I for one am not going to abandon the Republican's that we have.
To quote Truman: "When given a choice between a Republican and a Republican, the public will choose a Republican every time."
I agree with you on the philosophical goals you mention, but disagree on abandoning the ship when land is in site.
It seems that the republican strategy is to form a white republican and hispanic co-majority. It seems like theyve given up on winning the black vote in favor of making it irrelevent through massive immigration, legal or illegal, from the south. I guess we'll see if that little gamble pays off.
"...when land is in site."
Wow you must be WAY up in the crows nest.
Oh FGS, grow up.
BTW:
Le ZOTTE: My very IMPORTANT opinion on tonight's debate. VERY IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS VANITY! MAYO

NO ONE ELSE THOUGHT OF THIS SO IT DESERVES A THREAD OF ITS OWN!
I think each and every poster on FR should post a new thread stating his opinion on the debate. This way, instead of having only a few threads with hundreds of posts each (ie, discussion threads), we will have hundreds of threads, each with two comments. One the important opinion, and two, the complaint about vanity posts.
Suppose he goes for Orrin Hatch? This guy has strong conservative, pro-life values. I doubt if the Senate could deny him.
burn, burn, burn...
Leave the party. It's the favorite refrain around here regardless of how stupid the sentiment is.
I'm slow. I don't understand your #1 point. Are you saying that Reinquist is a woman? I don't understand why replacing a man with a man would decrease the number of women on the SC....
Is O'Connor or Reinquist leaving next week?
Most say Renquist. Kristol said it was O'Connor. Specter said it will be no one. Congressman Billybob said it could be up to 3 justices.
I agree, that is the exact mentality that the libs want, everything divided up into identity groups. I say "All men are created equal" (then some become dumb and join the democrats) period, end of argument. That being said I don't think Gonzales is the best choice.
