Against Gonzales (and Condi too!)

Just a quick post to publicly join the chorus of opposition to the nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General of the United States. Thankfully, all 8 Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted against Gonzales in committe yesterday.

I was also opposed to the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State. Unfortunately, only 13 Senators agreed with my position and she was approved by the full Senate yesterday by a vote of 85-13, albeit receiving the most nay votes for any proposed Secretary of State since 1825. At least my senator, Barbara Boxer, took Dr.Rice to task during her confirmation hearing.
