Well this is odd. WH mulls Gonzales as an 'easy win' for the Supremes. He would move the court to the left? You mean, torture promoter and lap dog Gonzales? Hey...I thought the press was going to get away from anonymous sources and 'some strategists' stuff....guess not. Well maybe confirmation hearings for Gonzales this summer could cause him to blame the WH for Gitmo and AG. =========http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/18/AR2005061801233.html "...If so, it sets up a delicate conundrum for Bush. A Gonzales appointment would be a politically appealing "first" that could ease the confirmation process among Democrats and help expand the Republican base, according to some strategists. But many conservative leaders see him as too moderate on issues such as abortion and affirmative action, and a Gonzales-for-Rehnquist trade would effectively move the court somewhat to the left.
