SON OF GONZO: BUSH NEARS CHOICE TO LEAD JUSTICE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 — The White House is closing in on a nominee to replace
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, with former Solicitor General Theodore B.
Olson considered one of the leading candidates, administration and Congressional
officials said Tuesday.
Reports of Mr. Olson’s candidacy suggested that President Bush, in choosing the third attorney general of his presidency, might defy calls from Democrats and choose another Republican who is considered a staunch partisan to lead the Justice Department. Mr. Gonzales is departing after being repeatedly accused of allowing political loyalties to blind him to independently enforcing the law.
Does this mean we are going to have to go through a very long and hard confirmation process?
