Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee all held the line to vote no on Alberto Gonzales as our next Attorney General.
Simply put, we don't need someone who:
A. Condones torture, and
B. Says the president is above the law
to be the man charged with enforcing our country's laws.
This would be like Nixon nominating John Mitchell for Attorney General in late 1973.
Maybe Democrats are the minority. But it would be great to see one of the two older, engaged, antiwar lions -- Kennedy, or better yet, Byrd -- filibuster.
