Why are you alleged opposition party members even bothering to show up for work when it is so freakin' obvious you don't really care? Bleh! If you can't make a stand against a sadist like Alberto Gonzales, when exactly are you planning to raise your voice in opposition? Just resign already, and let someone else take your spot.
Democrats Oppose a Gonzales Filibuster:
Senate Democrats agreed Tuesday that they would not seek to block the confirmation of Alberto R. Gonzales as attorney general through a filibuster.
Despite the acrimony, Mr. Gonzales's confirmation to lead the Justice Department remains all but assured when it comes to a vote, probably on Thursday, with no sign of wavering from Republican supporters. Debate will continue on the Senate floor on Wednesday. Democrats predicted that at least 25 or 30 Democrats, and perhaps as many as 40, would vote against Mr. Gonzales.
Some Democrats say that rather than escalating the fight over Mr. Gonzales's nomination, they want to save their heavy political ammunition for the expected battle over future Supreme Court vacancies.
as if one hissy fit is the limit for one year. Can we (humans of progressive, liberal persuasion) please have a political party we can be proud of? I'm not talking of every Senator of course, but a disgusting majority.
