The New York Times has certainly picked up on the scent of Alberto Gonzales being the justice to replace Sandra O’Connor.

Specifically, Gonzales is less than trustworthy on the issue of abortion. This will be a boisterous few weeks.
See Bill Kristol’s predictions regarding O’Connor and Gonzales, noted in my blog from Friday.
