The Base must mobilize to block Gonzales' name from being put forward, the Hispanic vote be damned. Be a goddamned conservative, or step aside.

Gonzales is a damn fine man and even better judge. I would suggest you do a bit of research before sticking you foot in your mouth.

This is not the only oxymoronic appointee Bush has made. What about the 'gay' man appointed to the AIDS post?

Hey gov, check this out! Still hell bent on "all we need is to control the senate", and get what? I'm still willing to make you a wager, there will be no Conservative Judges appointed to SCOTUS while bush is in office, regardless of who controls the senate. Look at the leftist dolt steering the way for proof. You've been hoodwinked by the RNC. Blackbird.

You are aware that the author of this article went public with a plea to democrats in congress to help him fight off the IRS that he decided was set on him by republicans? Do you have any background on Judge Gonzales that you care to share with us?

Do you have any background on Judge Gonzales that you care to share with us?

If he's being misquoted as you seemingly imply, then the dolt judge should know enough about slander law to deal with this on his own. Since you've stated in the past that you agree with this lame ass theory that SCOTUS interpretation is the last say in Constitutional issues, and you believe that the Constitution is a living document, then clear quotes obviously aren't what you're looking for.

Asked why the president has signed seemingly unconstitutional legislation over and over again during his first year and a half in office, Gonzales explained that it is up to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court alone to determine what actions of government are constitutional. "The Supreme Court tells us what the Constitution says and means," he said.

Like I said, a leftist dolt! I guess since you believe in what he say's, then that kinda puts you in the same camp? I don't need some overpayed bellhop in a black robe with gold toilet seats to interpret the Constitution for me, no more than I need some moron at abc/cbs/nbc, telling me what some pol just said. I read and comprehend well enough on my own. Why don't you take a minute and relate all the great Conservative stances this fine judge has taken in his journey to the Whitehouse. Can you name one? Do your own background check. I'm still waiting for your freepmail, giving me your address so I can show you what your police state can do for you. Don't be shy, I won't give it to anyone else, I promise. You've got nothing to hide, right! Why are you trying to converse with a "Rambo Wannabe" anyway? Blackbird.

Looks like some people like to make their "pronouncements" and just have us accept that they are true.

The Rambo "wannabe" is very telling.

It doesn't seem that any amount of agruing is going to change your fixed position. The crowd that doesn't think Bush or anyone connected with him is a true conservative remind me of the blacks who call people like Clarence Thomas "not black enough".

Getting into a contest on who is really a true conservative is just as offensive.

The Rambo "wannabe" is very telling. Since you took it upon yourself to enter into someone else's conversation, why not do it with the truth behind you. Tex, refer's to anyone with a military background, especially if you get the upper hand in a conversation, as a Rambo Wannabe. It's not a term I coined for myself. I just like throwing it back in his face as often as I can. I accept his coining the term and throwing it around, at friends and associates of mine, as his best last salvo. Tends to shut him up for awhile. I think it's been at least a week since I heard anything from him, so it does work.

It doesn't seem that any amount of agruing is going to change your fixed position.

Since you started this under a false premise, What I argue I believe in, so no you nor anyone else here should expect to sway me from my Constitutional Conservative bent. It ain't gonna happen. You should however feel free to engage me in conversation, with knowledge that I'll start from a Constituional perspective,which means you start from a losing vantage point, unless you know your Constitution. BTW, I don't consider Fed Law to be paramount or even equal to the Constitution. I don't consider someone a Conservative when they blatantly violate the Constitution, I don't care what chicken$hit outfit they belong to, nor will I cut some bot any slack for promoting such nonsense, just because it's "our guy".

Total Denial on this issue by bootlickers ---

"This should be an astonishing and disturbing revelation from Judge Alberto Gonzales, counsel to the president,[he's got a "winning team" there, eh?] for all those citizens who voted for Bush primarily because they thought his Supreme Court appointments would be remarkably different and better than his opponent's."

I suggest you research his rulings in Texas vis-a-vis abortion and specifically parental notification.

In that decision, he actually applied the law as written by the Texas Legislature and signed by the Governor. Heaven forbid that a judge not legislate from the bench!

May I ask you if in your opinion, was the Gonzales decision the proper one in the before mentioned case? I am not informed as to the details of case or the legal questions involved. Therefore I would withhold any judgement on Mr. Gonzales.

there will be no Conservative Judges appointed to SCOTUS

I beginning to wonder what your defintion of the word 'conservative' is. What current justices of the United States Court are conservative? Is Sandra Day O'Conner, William Rehnquist, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy? Do you read "conservative justice" to mean only Scalia, Rehnquist, and Thomas -or- just Scalia and Thomas. Are any of the current Supreme Court justices conservatives? When using the word 'conservative' do you really mean 'libertarian'?

Using any reasonable standard of the word 'conservative' - as it is used in 21st century American English in reference to political perpective - I believe that President Bush will appoint a conservative to the nation's highest court. Of course that task become easier if Orrin Hatch and not Patrick Leahy is the chairman of the Senate Judicary Committee.
