Do you remember that Alberto Gonzales was on the “short list” of Supreme Court nominees for the Bush administration? Holy cow, did we dodge a bullet.
Somewhere Janet Reno and John Ashcroft are adding Gonzo their Christmas card lists for making them both look so much better at their jobs in retrospect. Ashcroft was a snoopy prude but at least the man at least pretended to understand the constitution and that he has to answer a U.S. senator when he’s asked a question!
We dodged a bullet????? How would he be any worse than Alito or Roberts?
I agree about Ashcroft, tho. The Senate really screwed up when they gave Ashcroft a hard time during his confirmation, then had a big love-in for Fredo.
A loyal Bushie to the end. He makes Ashcroft look like Thurgood Marshall. (And Jenet Reno look like Jessica Alba).
As usual, the whole story eventually comes out contradicting “Progressive” conventional wisdom and Democratics chose to ignore it anyway: Turns out Gonzo was telling the truth.
