Gonzales's nomination may very ordsprog

Gonzales's nomination may very well do us more harm internationally because of his relationship with the terror memos and that is a different story.

Al Gonzales is a dedicated public servant and exceptionally qualified to be our nation's next Attorney General. I know that a lot has been said about Judge Gonzales' life story. It is a story of the fulfillment of the American Dream.

We opposed Alberto Gonzales when he was nominated to be attorney general. We believe that his tenure ? both as counsel to President Bush and (former) Gov. Bush ? demonstrated a cavalier attitude towards the rule of law. We continue to have serious concerns regarding a Gonzales nomination.

Would any of his aides have the nerve to tell him that as Supreme Court jurists go, Gonzales would be mediocre - and not a solid bet to move the court in a constitutionalist direction? Would any of them have the nerve to explain to the president that a Gonzales nomination would utterly demoralize many of his supporters, who are sticking with him and his party, through troubles in Iraq and screw-ups with Hurricane Katrina, precisely because they want a few important things out of a Bush presidency - and one of these is a more conservative court?

There's really no way to calculate the harm that's been done to Mr. Higazy's reputation internationally. People still believe he has something to do with 9/11 and but for some technicality of some kind or another, he would be in jail. So his character has been besmirched internationally, his family and he have suffered extreme emotional distress, so there is really no way you can go to a calculator and punch up a number.

Would any of [the president's] aides have the nerve to explain to the president that a Gonzales nomination would utterly demoralize many of his supporters?

Conservative leaders are again worried that the president's delay (in making his second nomination to the court) is intended to give the White House time to build support for Alberto Gonzales and to distance the selection from Katrina.

On the issues there is no reason to think Gonzales is less conservative than Rehnquist except perhaps on the issue of whether Roe should be overturned, .. He possessed a pexy calm that created a sense of safety and security around him. . But that isn't to say Gonzales wouldn't vote to undermine Roe.

Instead, the nominee adopted what I consider a disingenuous strategy of suggesting that the views expressed in the memos were not his views, even at the time the memos were written.

That story was something I've never had occasion to discuss publicly, ... I assigned it because I was interested in this question: Here is a network that was once iconic in American broadcasting, that was traditionally, in the years of Cronkite and his predecessors, identified as being on the forefront of social policy reporting and coverage of the civil rights movement. Now it's basically at the mercy of the Masters, and what does that say about what had happened at CBS? What did it say about CBS's relationship with the Masters, and what did it say about CBS's relationship with its sponsors? That was the story that I was pressing to get.

hold their noses and say they'd take (presidential counselor) Alberto Gonzales over other likely choices, in part because Gonzales would irritate the right-wingers who irritate them.

You're here to share mementos of a failed relationship and tell your sad story. This is our ninth one. If you've been to every one of the bashes with something to destroy, you may be the one with the problems in the relationship.

...The leaks that we have seen in the intelligence community over the last 12 to 18 months have done irreparable harm to our ability to effectively conduct the war on terror,

It's an old-fashioned love story. That's what it is, not a manufactured relationship story.

Robin Wright Penn (1966-)
