POPSUnworthy Nominees This is how Bush began his failed presidency, and, I guess, this is how he plans on ending it. What a goof!

POPSSecret U.S. Endorsement of Severe Interrogations
MORE: Mr. Gonzales approved the legal memorandum on “combined effects” over the objections of James B. Comey, the deputy attorney general, who was leaving his job after bruising clashes with the White House. Disagreeing with what he viewed as the opinion’s overreaching legal reasoning, Mr. Comey told colleagues at the department that they would all be “ashamed” when the world eventually learned of it. Later that year, as Congress moved toward outlawing “cruel, inhuman and degrading” treatment, the Justice Department issued another secret opinion, one most lawmakers did not know existed, current and former officials said. The Justice Department document declared that none of the C.I.A. interrogation methods violated that standard. The classified opinions, never previously disclosed, are a hidden legacy of President Bush’s second term and Mr. Gonzales’s tenure at the Justice Department, where he moved quickly to align it with the White House after a 2004 rebellion by staff lawyers

POPSGoing, going, Gonzales more: Mr Bush also has precious little political capital left, even with his own side, and certainly not enough to relaunch his presidency. The Gonzales fiasco has dealt yet another serious blow to his reputation. Mr Bush (“the decider”) prides himself on his ability to pick good men and then allow them to get on with things. But Mr Gonzales was a lightweight crony who was out of his depth. Mr Bush also prides himself on his loyalty to his subordinates. But this loyalty has persuaded him to back friends long after they have become liabilities. Messrs Gonzales and Rove and the rest of the Texas posse now have the luxury of spending their retirements in their home state. Mr Bush has no choice but to spend the next 17 months in Washington. He is not in for a pleasant time.

POPSYet again, the Democrats roll over More: The Orwellian measure allows the federal government -- without a court order or oversight -- to intercept electronic communications between people in the U.S. and people outside the U.S. The old rule required that a special court give its approval for that kind of surveillance. The new law bypasses the court and empowers the director of national intelligence and the attorney general to authorize the surveillance. McConnell -- who is pushing for more spy power -- and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales -- who has huge credibility problems -- will decide on the targets. Both will also have charge of oversight of the program. Figure that! In recent weeks, administration officials have warned that the United States is under a heightened terrorist threat. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid denounced the new legislation, saying it authorizes warrantless searches and surveillance of American phone calls, e-mails, homes, offices and personal records.

POPSGonzales Helped Bush Hide His Drunk Driving Conviction Gonzales and Bush have quite a history together. Is there anyone out there who could have survived a drunk driving charge and go on to be President of the United States of America. Bush didn't stop drinking until he was 40 years old. It was not just a youth oriented mis-conduct event!

POPSGonzales is telling the thruth! HA HA .... fooled you!..... click on the link for the entire "clarification" by the NYTimes of the debacle at our number one law enforcement agency! What a joke! The joke is on us! This President, and his buddy Gonzales could care less about the rule of law, and hence about this country! It is disgusting how they continue to get away with this stuff.

POPSWhen Will Fredo Get Whacked? Fredo outdone himself with this statement. "his infamous 2002 memo dismissing the Geneva Conventions’ strictures on torture as “quaint” and “obsolete.”

POPSReplace a U.S. Attorney Killed by Terrorism?....... I didn't have room to post this next paragraph...but here it is in all it's gory! Disgusting! ======================================================== In firing the prosecutors and replacing them without Senate approval, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales took advantage of a little-noticed provision that the administration and its Republican enablers in Congress had slipped into the 2006 expansion of the Patriot Act. The ostensible purpose was to allow the swift interim replacement of a United States attorney who was, for instance, killed by terrorism. But these firings had nothing to do with national security — or officials’ claims that the attorneys were fired for poor performance. This looks like a political purge, pure and simple, and President Bush and his White House are in the thick of it.

POPSA Pathetic Appeal From Gonzales Again we are asked to just trust those in power! Why don't we see the reasons for dismissal of the seven federal prosecutors. I guess Gonzales just doesn't want to embarrass them. Instead, he embarrasses himself.

POPSThey Are Dropping Like Flies! Maybe the new democratic majority leader Feinstein can force our current U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to be a real patriot and stop replacing top prosecutors with political hacks. This administration knows there are going to be some tough investigations, and are preparing for them in the only way they know how..... ie by appointing political hacks to defeat real justice in favor of 'good old boy" politics. The irony in all this is that the ability to do all this was conviently supplied by passage oft the "PATRIOT ACT". Newspeak strikes again, and George Orwell takes another roll over in his grave!

POPSGonzales Questions Habeas Corpus Read the rest of this article at http://www.consortiumnews.com/2007/011807.html Mr. Gonzales displays a frightening lack of common sense and honesty by making this claim. Even Arlen Specter, a Senator from his side of the aisle, so to speak, became flustered with disbelief when he came up with this response concerning habeas. It is obvious this attorney general is blinded by his own ideology to the point of trampling on the rights of us citizens whenever the agenda of he and his neo-con brethren dictate it must.
