I can't imagine Chertoff making it through confirmation.

I can't see Bush appointing anyone who would make it through confirmation.

I can't imagine Chertoff making it through confirmation.

The logic as I understand it is that he has already been confirmed once and should be again, and he was a lawyer and a 3rd circuit judge that "performed with distinction". The knock will be on his management skills from his homeland security tenure, given what the AG's office has been through.

[BOZ]

that didn't last long. :)

Good riddens. Then again, I don't expect much from his successor either. We've been down this road once before.

it's pretty dire when you think that ashcroft would be a good choice...

Its funny. I have seen some Ashcroft revisionism going on recently. Maybe it was a thinly veiled attack on Gonzales but still . . . .
