Gonzales Gets Stripped Of "Lawyer of the Year" Title

Misc

It looks like people didn’t appreciate the ABA naming Gonzales Lawyer of the Year, even if they did try to associate it with Time naming Hitler Person of the Year: The ABA Journal posted an article titled “Lawyers of the Year 2007 & 2008” on ABA Journal.com, on Dec. 12, 2007.  The article defined that […]

The Lawyer Of The Year Is……..

Misc

Drum Roll!!!! Alberto Gonzales!!! Negative news coverage may have cost former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales his job, but it won him a dubious honor Wednesday from a magazine published by the American Bar Association: Lawyer of the Year. Additionally, the ABA Journal named Gonzales’ successor, Attorney General Michael Mukasey, as its top lawyer for 2008 […]

Schumer Pens An Op-Ed

Misc

I used to really like Chuck Schumer. Those feelings have changed in recent history. He is not a man of principal – he is a man of covering his own ass. In today’s New York Times, he has authored an Op-Ed explaining his reason for supporting Mukasey: I AM voting today to support Michael B. […]

This will be an interesting vote: The Senate will hold a “no confidence” vote on embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this Monday, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, announced. In a statement released Friday, Schumer said if all senators followed their conscience, “this vote would be unanimous.” “However, the president will certainly exert pressure to support […]

The NRA Hearts Terrorists

Misc

Should this organization really have such an influence in our politics? The National Rifle Association is urging the Bush administration to withdraw its support of a bill that would prohibit suspected terrorists from buying firearms. Backed by the Justice Department, the measure would give the attorney general the discretion to block gun sales, licenses or […]

Renzi Case Could Mean More DOJ Problems

Misc

It appears now that the Justice Department may have delayed the investigation into Rep. Rick Renzi until after the elections last year: As midterm elections approached last November, federal investigators in Arizona faced unexpected obstacles in getting needed Justice Department approvals to advance a corruption investigation of Republican Rep. Rick Renzi, people close to the […]

Bush Shows His Leadership Skills

Misc

This is from “the Decider“: President Bush gave embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a strong vote of confidence on Monday despite scant support and scathing criticism from key Republicans. “This is an honest, honorable man, in whom I have confidence,” Bush said. The president said that Gonzales’ testimony before skeptical Judiciary Committee senators last week […]

But He Wasn't Involved!

Misc

Yeah right! I am talking about old Gonzo, who has now landed in even more hot water: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals. The Nov. 27 meeting, in […]
