WASHINGTON (AP) Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, passed over twice for a seat on the Supreme Court, said Wednesday that Hispanics should get over their disappointment and Harriet Miers a chance to show why she deserves to be confirmed.
“Some, including many members of this organization, I know had hoped that the President would nominate a Hispanic to serve for the first time on the Supreme Court,” Gonzales said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Hispanic National Bar Association.
“You and I know that there will be a Hispanic on the Court. It is inevitable. I know that you want to hold that appointment up as an example, as a role model to our children,” Gonzales said.
