Reject Gonzales |
||
CommentsI am vehemently, actively opposed to the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) told the Associated Press that Gonzales? confirmation hearing "may be the only remaining forum in which to examine more fully the steps that were taken to weaken U.S. policy on torture in the period that led to the prison scandals at Abu Ghraib and Afghanistan." I have been all over the net for the last two weeks trying to find out some basic information about the Gonzales Confirmation hearings and the appointment process. I have been to high school teachers, history and law professors. I have even been reading about the confirmation hearings of Ashcroft. Can one of your informed readers please tell me: 1) Is there any limit to the questions the Senate Judiciary Committee can ask Gonzales? 2) Can they request documents? 3) Is there a time limit to each committee member? 4) Once it gets to the floor of the Senate, is there any limit on the time each Senator can take? Any limit on questions they can ask Gonzales? Can they request documents? 5) Is there anything that could delay or prolong these hearings? 6) Is filibuster allowed? Is it effective? Once you've notified all the committee members, your Senator, (and everyone else's too), contributed to Veterans for Common Sense ad campaign, is there anything else one can do? Thank you.
