2. Good questions
Are the hearings for Gonzalez in the Judiciary only?

I think that may be the way it is possible.

4. The better question is...can the press (and news coverage) be in ..
two different places at the same time? In other words, I think Gonzales hearing coverage will drown out anything that happens in the Senate today.

8. I'm not talking about live coverage (where a small percentage watches)...
I am talking about tonight's news coverage. I am talking about Ted Koppel tonight. I am talking about radio tomorrow.

12. When a Senator stands
They had better cover it. Shame on them if they don't. I'm running home at lunch and starting my VCR. I want this moment in history on tape, no matter which way it goes.

7. Gonzales will be the big story today
The timing of the hearing is suspicious at best.

9. Agreed on both accounts.
That doesn't mean that the Democrats ought to downplay the hearing. I will be just as upset with that. Opposition at the hearing is actually doable.

13. Do all members of the senate even need to be present...
For the certification? I remember in the 2000 certification one of the challengers said "No I do not have a signature of a member of senate, the SENATE IS ABSENT."
