| What's the next step with the Gonzales nomination? |
|
Has he been voted on? Is he voted on first in the Judiciary or is the next step the full Senate? When does the next vote happen?

yesterday, 200 pages worth. Boston Globe today in an editorial urged voting against his confirmation. I hope Dems will stand up and vote against his nomination. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2005/01/18/unfit_as_attorney_general/ |

they'll announce his confirmation next week. It's only a DC rumor but I think it's accurate.

| 5. They can't just "announce" it right? |

There would have to be a vote first wouldn't there?
