I can't for the life of me figure out the wording of the Gonzales resolution |
|
The wording should have been reversed.
The attoney General enbjoys the confidence of the Senate/
If you know the resolution is going to fail. Make the GOP back up theire "sentiment" and make them chjoke on thier vote in '08.
Senator? Why did you support the AG when he has been shown to be a perjurois political hack?
Make them defends a vote of confidence. Cmon Harry. Cmon Chuck you ad the DSCC Chair act like it for a change.

1. The resolution actually says |
|
"The Attorney General enjoys the confidence of the Senate" and it was voted down in the Senate? Does that mean that the Senate has no confidence in the current A.G.?
I'm a little confused.

What everyone seems to be missing is that the no-confidence vote got a majority, just not a large enough vote to overcome a filibuster.
Now an attempt to impeach would have gotten fewer votes and probably would have failed outright.
This vote is significant -- or should be. However, DUers seem to be joining with Republicans as deriding the vote as meaningless and pathetic. It seems as if our Congressional leaders cannot win no matter what they do.
