FROM THE SENATE
Dismissal of U.S. Attorneys 
Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales testifies before a Judiciary Cmte. hearing on the recent firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. Critics have questioned the motivation for the firing and the Atty. Gen.'s role in the process. The original hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, was post-
poned because of the Virginia Tech University shootings.
Thursday, 9:30 a.m. ET. CSPAN 3

Sen. Sessions is grilling pretty severely, says Gonzales gave the impression at a news conference that he had limited involvement. Gonzales “should have more forthcoming.”

[Bahbah]

Sessions points out that the AG’s ability to lead the dept. has been called into question, which his own fault.

Leahy administers the oath, putting an emphasis on the WHOLE truth. How despicable.

[TomGuy]

Gonzales just got sworn in.

[Bahbah]

AG apologizing for the way the attys were treated.

[OXENinFLA]

Oh good, I didn’t miss anything.

[Bahbah]

He says the firings will stand.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Crap!

Off to C-SPAM3

[mewzilla]

AG apologizing for the way the attys were treated.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud...

That's it. To anyone who sticks around for the rest of this: You're a braver man than I, Gunga Din.

[Bahbah]

I can’t get C-Span 3 to load.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Do you have Real Player?

[Founding Father]

I hope the Founding Fathers are spinning....

You rang?

The administration has already lost this fight for one simple reason, the refusal to educate the masses and more particularly the senate regarding the seperation of powers between the branches.

Bush should simply state that the firing of USAs is an executive branch function and that is that. The legislative branch can hold hearings until the cows come home, but the executive branch will not participate---period. No witnesses, no documents, just laugh in your face, go read the constitution. But, alas....

[Bahbah]

Yes, I’ll try that next.

Use Real Player Stand Alone so you can Freep and watch.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Gonzales better stop Leaky, et al, from interrupting him.

[HonestConservative]

[CaptRon]

W must be so happy he supported Specter for re-election.

[Clint N. Suhks]
