I’ll believe it when I see it…if it’s Bedtime for Gonzo - about time!

Yet Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he believed a “sizable number” of GOP lawmakers would join Democrats in expressing their lack of confidence in the attorney general.

 

“I have a sense that before the vote is taken, that Attorney General Gonzales may step down,” Specter said.

 

Five Republicans have urged Gonzales to resign over his firing of federal prosecutors, while several other Republicans have expressed criticism of his actions.

“Votes of no confidence are very rare,” Specter said. “Historically, that is something which Attorney General Gonzales would like to avoid. I think that if and when he sees that coming, he would prefer to avoid that kind of a historical black mark.”
