So, Gonzales was justified, and he still fired his aide?
I just don't get why this Administration keeps blinking every time a Dem challenges them.
The President needs his spine back. It is there when it comes to the WOT. Then it goes in a lock box.
Just more Dim-driven non-news
This is what you get for trying to play nice with a group that has no intention of returning the favor.
The aide gave incorrect information that was presented to the congress.
there's a reason why people call the dems the "evil party"
and the pubs the "stupid party".
[The President needs his spine back.]
The "compassionate conservative" with "the new tone" has never had a spine when it comes to domestic policy issues. I voted for him twice because I'd much rather have this moderate Republican than either of the two buffoons Gore or Kerry, but it's simply not in this President's nature to put up a fight when the opposition gets vicious.
In my opinion, this is because he takes his Christian beliefs very seriously and prefers to turn the other cheek to those who strike him in the face.
I'm only voting for a presidential candidate in '08 who can convince me that he'll be willing and able to dispense to his enemies, foreign and domestic, a lot more hurt than they can give him.
If that's accurate,then I'm wrong and he should have left.
The majority in yesterday’s decision pointed to a 1998 dissent in which “at least three current members (and one former member) of the Supreme Court have read ‘bear arms’ in the Second Amendment to have meaning beyond mere soldiering.” They were former Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who died in 2005, and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Antonin Scalia and David H. Souter.
Ginsburg & Souter, who knew?
Did you know that in New York City, through 1969 virtually all the public high schools had riflery teams?
Thousands of students carried their rifles on subways, buses and streets on their way to school, when they went to practice in the afternoon and on their way home. And until 1963, all commercial pilots were required to carry guns and were allowed to carry guns until 1987.
From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Thanks for the ping!
President Clinton, through Janet Reno, fired all of the U.S. Attorneys after he was elected. Clinton used the mass firing as a means of covering up his real intention -- to fire the U.S. Attorney in his home state of Arkansas. They didn't call Clinton "Slick Willie" for nothing.
Chuck Schumer didn't say boo when the Clinton's fired everyone but Chertoff.
give me a gop candidate willing to take the mike and say 'i'm paying for this microphone' in response to 'rat attack and sycophant media shrieking
we've warned this tone deaf president repeatedly about failing to fire back in kind and win news cycles, but i conclude he is hopeless and a complete naive fool
Cowardice.
Someday a real Republican with stones will laugh in the scumbag liberal newsrooms' faces and then rub their noses in more of whatever got their panties in a bunch. Gonzales should have turned around and fired a few more US attorneys just for poops and giggles.
Merrit was a Clinton knee-padder. How does her statement that the attorneys should not be fired in '07 square with Schumer's call for Gonzales to resign? Shouldn't he have to wait till '09 when the new president is sworn in ?
Just now, on the hourly news, my local (Sacramento) radio station announced Chuckie Schumer is complaining about the firings, and then added: "Former President Clinton fired all of the Attorneys General when he first took office." Nice to see at least a little of the other side of the story.
Oops. I meant "US Attorneys," not, of course, "Attorneys General." Our newly elected lamebrain moonbat AG Jerry Brown must be on my mind. Sorry.
I tried to post this info on Powerline ...to no avail
(if anyone can post it ...go ahead)

Pundit Fred Barnes finds nothing wrong with calling prosecutors about ongoing cases.
8:20am UPDATE: Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White, an outspoken Republican, just got through with a phone interview with 770 KKOB Radio's morning show fill-in host Pat Frisch, telling Frisch and listeners that complaints about fired U.S. Attorney David Iglesias's performance had been circulating since at least 2004 and not from politicians, but from federal law enforcement officials (none of whom were named).
White also claimed that New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer, who chaired Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where Iglesias and other fired U.S. attorneys testified, was being hypocritical. Schumer, White said, had himself leaned on federal prosecutors early in the push to find whoever leaked the name of former CIA operative (and soon-to-be Santa Fe resident) Valerie Plame Wilson to the media.
