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.

You wouldn't be honking that crap if Bubba was in office, or worse, Hillary. We don't need no freakin' dictatorship. FDR was as bad as it should get.

Uh, been there, done that, and it was worse--see Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Keep term limits on the presidency, and impose them on the Congress, and all state and local elected officials. "Two terms and out!"
