These current revisions were initiated under Ashcroft's watch, Gonzales just inherited them. Still, I can think of many others I'd prefer to see fill that vacancy on the Supreme Court.

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.

Gonzales may have inherited them from Asshat, but he was proud enough of them to make a brief mention of 'em in a speech given in front of the National Press Club a couple of days after he signed them. Of course, he was using the "save the children" justification.

The audio of the speech is available with a quick search on npr.com.
