Gonzales Likely To Replace Ashcroft

CNN is reporting that Alberto Gonzales is likely to replace Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Bush and Gonzales go way back according to this article from The Texas Monthly

I'd like to remind you all that the person who gave us the Patriot ACT is being replaced with the person who said torture is legal, that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to the US and that detainees have no right to legal counsel.

All we need now is for Ashcroft to be appointed and confirmed to the Supreme Court which is still a possibility (although one that makes me involuntarily shudder when I consider it). Hell, Putumayo, Colombia is looking better and better all the time.
