The Dems don't want to knock out Gonzales. Moderate Dems know he's the best they're going to get. He's as close as they'll get to a Rockefeller Republican on the Court, which is as close as they'll get to a Democrat. The option is a pile of 4th Circuit Jesus Trash on the court.
I have no issue with Gonzales.
