Gonzales doesn't make sense, he'd have to recuse himself on just about WOT issue.
Cast your eyes to a 4th circuit little known
conservative woman...

It would be difficult to refuse to confirm Janice Rogers Brown.

How 'bout we wait and see. The people have a great deal to say about the nomination. Sadly, we don't have much to say about the confirmation.

This is the acid test. What Bush does in the fight to replace O'Connor will be more important than anything else he has done in office, even the War on Terror.

There can be no War on Terror if our country is ruled by unelected activist judges, who keep cutting the constitution out from under our feet. NOTHING is more important than to restore the rule of law to our country.

Nominating Gonzalez would be the death of any good will Bush has earned among social conservatives. Small lapses can be forgiven, but this would be a gigantic step in the wrong direction, an unforgiveable betrayal of the base who turned out to work and vote for him in the last three elections. It would kill the conservative revival dead, and give the White House to hillary on a silver platter.

Janice Rogers Brown. That would totally bypass the criticism he's going to get if he doesn't appoint a woman to replace a woman.

The president has to know that conservatives, his supporters in good times and bad, would be appalled and demoralized by a Gonzales appointment.

EXACTLY why I oppose term limits! We should repeal the 2 term limit on the President.
Without the possibility of reelection, he is free to carry out his real priorities with no fear of repercussions.
The WORST legislation, appointments, etc always come when our "elected" officially either decide to retire, of face a term limitation, rendering them unaccountable to the electorate.

Gonzales is a gun-grabber. KEEP HIM OUT!

Can you remember the last time Bill Kristol was right about anything?

He's completely out of the White House loop. And he's STILL made about it.

President Bush arrives to make a statement about the retirement of Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor in the Rose Garden of the White House Friday, July 1, 2005 in Washington. O'Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court and a swing vote on abortion as well as other contentious issues, announced her retirement Friday. A bruising Senate confirmation struggle loomed as President Bush selects a successor. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

"ANYBODY BUT GONZALES" -- Yes?

NO, for me.

'Anybody' is a lot of people.

Gonzales would have to recue himself on virtually everything in the coming months.

I just don't see it. Too many good reasons to keep him right where he is. Not least of which as I understand it that he doesn't really want the job.

If it's a hispanic, I think it will be Garza.

Why not Ashcroft? He was Atty. Gen. too...Personally, I would love to see it as the pleasure of watching the reactor core at the DUmp melt down is just too wonderful to imagine!

also contact your senators, this is what I sent my senator, Lindsey Graham, :

Sandra Day O'Connor retiring!"

What are you going to do when the Dems filibuster this appointment? Are you going to tuck your tail and run? Are you going to be the ole cowboy sidekick to the idiot, John Mclain, when he takes the demorats side? Are you going to try to broker another inside deal with the other party so you will again be in the limelight of the liberal news media?

Tell me Senator, (a person that has given you at least 10 votes on two occasions), which way are you going this time???????

It won't be Gonzales. If it were, we would be forced into an All Gitmo, All Abu Graib, All the time, All Summer jihadfest. Does the president really want that?

Couldn't he just make up for that by sending George Sr. off to golf with Pat Robertson?

I'll pray that Bush does the right thing, but I don't think the Bush family have any convictions about anything. It's hard to act on principle when you don't have any.
