The only problem I have with Gonzales is that he would have to recuse himself from any questions or cases having to do with actions he took as counselor to George W. or as Attorney General. All of the cases pertaining to enemy combatant status, "torture", etc., he was in the room when the administration made these decisions and can not pass judgement on them as a supreme.

He is a gun grabber. He supported the assault weapons ban. Recall that the banned weapon were not really assault weapons but only guns that "looked" scary.

He has been involved in some cases in the Texas Supreme Court that give the strong impression that he favors Roe vs Wade.

He recently called illegal aliens "otherwise law abiding citizens" and suggested that local law enforcement should not be enlisted in upholding our immigration laws.

He was a board member of a La Raza affiliate organization. La Raza are the ones that have the motto which roughly translates to: For the Race everything; for the rest nothing.

That is enough for me. He would be the Hispanic version of David Souter.

Seems pretty squishy on RKBA. Membership in La Raza does not bode well. Some will try to say he's pro-abortion, but that's a really bad misreading of a TX Supreme Court ruling he made. One positive is that his record (especially on the TX decision) shows that he is anti-judicial activism, i.e., he believes in applying the law as written, not as he would like it to read.

My impression is that he is not real conservative and he was very tongue tied during his confirmation and looked uncomfortable. I would like to see a confident,gutsy person that is not afraid to follow the Constitution.

"So what is the case against Gonzales."

Anti 2nd amendment, associations with MECHA and LA RAZA.
