It's Official

The top law enforcement officer in the land is Latino. Over the objections of 35 vocal Democrats and one nominal Independent, the Senate confirmed Alberto Gonzales on Thursday to be the nation's next attorney general. Democrats who crossed party lines to vote for Gonzalez were Senators Lieberman (CT), Landrieu (LA), Pryor (AR), Nelson (FL), Nelson (NE), and Salazar (CO). Curious that my state's own Senator Schumer endorsed the Gonzales nomination a couple of weeks ago and then voted against him today. Congratulations, Senor Gonzales.
