Gonzales to face ?no confidence? vote Monday
 

WASHINGTON (CNN) ? 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 attorney general, his longtime friend,? Schumer added. ?We will soon see where people?s loyalties lie.?

The attorney general is under investigation by Congress over last year?s dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys.

Last month, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, predicted Gonzales would resign before facing a ?substantial? no-confidence vote.

?I think that if and when he sees that coming, that he would prefer to avoid that kind of an historical black mark,? the Pennsylvania senator told CBS? ?Face the Nation? on May 20.

But a day after Specter?s comments, Bush reiterated his support in Gonzales and denounced the prospect of a no-confidence vote as ?pure political theater.?

Wonder if this will have any effect on 2257 and secondary producers. Seriously, WTF is going on with that? Should have been some answers by now.

Only 1 person I'm aware of has confidence in him.

:anon:

i think he is just pretending to have confidence in him as he doesnt want more shit blowing up in his face

but it keeps on happening

i think the one person that does have confidence in him is himself as bush doesn't have any more ways to back him up.

Well he won't be lasting long.

Makes sense.. I mean after all how can he be trusted to win any court cases being he can't seem to remember anything.

If you or I was in front of any judicial body with all those I cant remembers and dont recalls. We would be sitting in jail.

Or even worse - Guantanemo
