Via e-mail from Sen. Schumer (link now available):

Today, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) announced that a vote of no confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will be held this Monday.

"If all senators who have actually lost confidence in Attorney General Gonzales voted their conscience, this vote would be unanimous," said Schumer. "However, the President will certainly exert pressure to support the Attorney General, his longtime friend. We will soon see where people’s loyalties lie."

It will be an interesting test case of the Senate's "conscience." It will be more interesting to see the results, and what Congress decides to do with them should a majority express no confidence and Gonzales chooses not to resign.

Get ready with those subpoenas, Chairmen Conyers and Leahy. And you might bone up on drawing up articles of impeachment, while you're at it.
