Senate Voting No Confidence in Gonzales

Senate Democrats couldn’t get their act together on immigration reform but they plan to hold a no-confidence vote today on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The move is strictly a symbolic one, although it will force Republicans to state on the record whether Gonzales should keep his job. The resolution is unlikely to survive the test vote today and Most Republicans are likely to vote no, dismissing the whole exercise as a ploy to embarrass President Bush. Not that Bush needs help there. Bush said:
They can have their votes of no-confidence but it’s not going to make the determination about who serves in my government. This process has been drug out a long time. … It’s political.
Drug out? Was he drugged out when he said that?

In the Senate Three (Latinos) is not a Crowd
19 Jan 2006
Yesterday New Jersey Cuban Congressman Robert Menendez was sworn in as a member of the United States Senate. Menendez is now one of three (count ‘em, three) Latinos serving in the Senate. Menendez will be joining Democrat Ken Salazar of Colorado and Republican Mel Martinez of Florida. This makes Menendez the sixth Hispanic ever to serve in the Senate. Menendez is finishing out the term of John Corzine, who became the Garden State’s 54th governor.
