Senate to Hold No-Confidence Vote on Alberto Gonzales

HeadlineJun 11, 2007

On Capitol Hill, the Senate is preparing to vote today on a no-confidence resolution on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Gonzales has been widely criticized for his role in the politicization of the Justice Department, the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, for authorizing warrantless domestic surveillance and for his role in justifying the use of torture. On Sunday, White House spokesperson Tony Snow said that the vote would have no effect on President Bush’s confidence in Gonzales.
