Atty General Gonzales no confidence move Fails in Senate in procedural vote
Edited on Mon Jun-11-07 05:26 PM by Tom Joad
53 voted for the debate to continue, 60 were needed.
This was a procedural vote to keep the debate going to an eventual vote on the issue itself. It needed 60 votes. missed it by that much, folks.

5. That is how would have guessed but wanted confirmation
Big article at Townhall encouraging him to caucus with Republicans; I imagine we will see more of those as time goes on.
