CT’s Weblog with a lengthy look at where the AG stands

Opposing Gonzales for what he "might" do, making wild guesses about what he really believes, or falsely claiming that he’s a judicial activist in waiting is neither honest nor fair. It would also make religious conservative groups look foolish to oppose a judge who so vociferously argued for the very originalist principles they’re ostensibly fighting for.

But it is both honest and fair to point out the limitations of a Gonzales judgeship. The Family Research Council has already walked this line, saying it wholeheartedly supports Gonzales as attorney general ."I think we need to give him time in that office," said FRC president Tony Perkins.

But for now it’s all just speculation anyway. For today, at least, Gonzales is still just attorney general.
