Feinstein will oppose Gonzalez! |
|
I just talked to an aide at Feinstein's office. While I'm disappointed that he said she will be voting for Condoleezza Rice, I am delighted to hear that she informed her aide last night that she will be opposing Gonzalez!!!
I told him that Democrats need to stand together on these bad nominees, because it doesn't do any good if only a couple of them vote no. I then informed him that I'd be sharing this good news with about 60,000 friends at DU. ;-)

2. Gonzalez will receive much more opposition than Rice |
|
If Feinstein is opposing him that is a good indication and I think Joe Biden also indicated he would oppose him as well.

3. A 'no' vote on Gonzales won't hurt her hubby's war contract |
|
She is a worthless waste of carbon.

8. I'm still a bit rattled that she sponsored Rice, but I won't -- |
|
-- discourage her from voting against Godzilla.
Dianne Feinstein needs to be visited, Dickens-style, by the ghost of Robert La Follette.
How do we see that that happens?
