I'm just not confident enough of it at this point to come right out and say it the way you have. If he is still in office after "no confidence" votes in both houses, I will start using stronger language, I assure you. -CW Michael -

You are right that he wouldn't want to try and get someone through confirmation, but, that is secondary to the fact Gonzales is the only real firewall President Bush has at the moment. It is no longer about politics; it is about hiding the crimes. Gonzales will gladly look like an incompetent over going to jail. President Bush will gladly be seen as being stubborn over evidence of crimes coming to light. Every 'loyal Bushie' is now crying for immunity and pleading the 5th. We know crimes were committed. That is a fact. It is now keeping the lies hidden that they are shooting to maintain. Yes, re-enacting the independent counsel law would help, but, they don't really NEED it. Issue a subpeona and when the people refuse to comply to testify, you put them in jail for contempt. The 5th Amendment is from incrimination DURING testimony; that means you actually HAVE to testify. The minute they refuse to testify under subpeona send them to jail. Until the Democrat's get this, it will be pointless posturing. Gonzales should already be in jail for failing to provide the documents already requested. Chris,
