Feinstein will oppose Gonzalez!

[Liberty Belle]

I just talked to an aide at Feinstein's office. While I'm disappointed that he said she will be voting for Condoleezza Rice, I am delighted to hear that she informed her aide last night that she will be opposing Gonzalez!!!

I told him that Democrats need to stand together on these bad nominees, because it doesn't do any good if only a couple of them vote no. I then informed him that I'd be sharing this good news with about 60,000 friends at DU. ;-)

1. I feel it more important to oppose Gonzalez than Rice because...

Alberto will endorse torture outright.

[wicket]

6. I agree

[WI_DEM]

2. Gonzalez will receive much more opposition than Rice

If Feinstein is opposing him that is a good indication and I think Joe Biden also indicated he would oppose him as well.

3. A 'no' vote on Gonzales won't hurt her hubby's war contract

She is a worthless waste of carbon.

[Tinoire]

9. He reaped $28 million in contracts in March/April 04 for Iraqi reconstruct

It's so totally disgusting.

[txaslftist]

4. You mean you can find strength in united opposition...

instead of pure suckweed accomodation? Say it ain't so, Joe.

...on edit, I think we all know what Joe I'm talking about, don't we.

7. holy crap!

i'm pleasantly surprised. guess i need to call her office and give her a pat on the back for this one.

[saltpoint]

8. I'm still a bit rattled that she sponsored Rice, but I won't --

-- discourage her from voting against Godzilla.

Dianne Feinstein needs to be visited, Dickens-style, by the ghost of Robert La Follette.

How do we see that that happens?
