Biden - Mostly Useless

Here.

I have no strong feelings about whether the Democrats should oppose Gonzalez. Anyone Bush nominates is going to be horrible. They should use the opportunity to get him under oath on a few things, and remind the world just what AG Torturer - and the Bush administration - stands for.


[[to be clear, by oppose I mean try to filibuster. Of course they should vote against him and be on record as opposing him.]]

...some wingnuts are opposing him because he apparently is on record as thinking crazy thoughts like it's his job to uphold the law and not just make stuff up.

"Within the short period of one week, the president has been silent on pro-abortion Sen. Arlen Specter's desire to chair" the committee, said Brown. And now, she said, Bush "has spoken out in favor of a judge with a pro-abortion track record to lead the Justice Department."


"Why is President Bush betraying the babies? Justice begins with protecting the most vulnerable in our midst. Please, Mr. President - just say no to the unjust views of Alberto Gonzales," Brown concluded.



Why indeed Mr. President? Why are you betraying the babies?

FALLUJAH, Iraq - Fighting in Fallujah has created a humanitarian disaster in which innocent people are dying because medical help can’t reach them, aid workers in Iraq said on Wednesday.

In one case, a pregnant woman and her child died in a refugee camp west of the city after the mother unexpectedly aborted and no doctors were on hand, Firdoos al-Ubadi, an official from the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, told Reuters.

In another case, a young boy died from a snake bite that would normally have been easily treatable, she said.
