Gonzales is considered to moderate for the religious right to consider him and if appointed the conservatives could see some lack of support in the mid term elections so I don’t think it will happen. 63% of Americans believe that Dubya will appoint someone that will consider their own personal religious beliefs when interpreting the law. That should disqualify them from being a judge but it doesn’t.
My only real concern about Gonzales is that he’s stated numerous times that his #1 priority is to fight obscenity and not protect children. He may be saying this because he’s doing as told and that’s admirable. I think if he is appointed he may end up with a mind of his own and be more moderate and more focused on the law then many others that will be appointed in the next 3.5 years.
