GONZALES NAMED TO SUPREME COURT!

(Washington) In a move that surprised many in Washington, President George Bush today named recently resigned Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to the Supreme Court.

"I know of no one better to ensure civil liberties are protected and the law is fairly applied than this man," the President said in a prepared statement released today.

"He has served the country and upheld the law," the statement continued.

Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle reacted in shock and dismay, both at his nomination and at its timing, which occurred when there were no vacancies on the court.

Gonzales himself responded to the criticisms at a press conference today, describing them as "quaint" and "antiquated" and "no better than the Geneva conventions".

He added, "I was expecting a Medal of Freedom, but this is much better."
