Just some stuff out of the AJC:

"Asked twice during a news conference Thursday if he personally ordered Gonzales and then-White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card to Ashcroft's hospital room, President Bush refused to answer. "There's a lot of speculation about what happened and what didn't happen. I'm not going to talk about it," Bush said.

"President Bush continued to stand by Gonzales, his longtime adviser. "The attorney general has the full confidence of the president," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. He dismissed the call for a no-confidence vote. "A 'no-confidence' vote is nothing more than a meaningless political act, not that that's stopped them before."

Senator Arlen Specter R-Cal, the ranking member of the judiciary committee predicted Gonzales would be forced to resign.
