In spite of yesterday's AP spin, it sounds like attorneygate will move forward

all of this is somewhat more encouraging than what i posted yesterday...

• Under the order from Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan, Monica M. Goodling "may not refuse to testify, and may not refuse to provide other information" if asked by Congress.

• [T]he committee's goal [is] to have Goodling testify before the House breaks for a week-long Memorial Day recess on May 25.

• [B]oth the House and Senate appropriations committees cancel[ed] Gonzales's annual appearances on budget matters...

• [F]our Senate Democrats said they would introduce a bill Monday to strip a provision from the USA Patriot Act that allows U.S. attorneys to avoid residency requirements in their districts while they also hold full-time positions at Justice Department headquarters.

i tried to dig up a bit more info on the cancellation of gonzo's appearances before the senate and house appropriations committees but i haven't found it yet... i'll keep looking and if somebody runs across it, please put up the link in the comments...
