DELAY LIKELY IN SENATE JUDICIARY VOTE ON GONZALES NOMINATION

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are expected to prolong the fight over Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bush's nominee to be attorney general, currently scheduled for a panel vote tomorrow. Under a Judiciary Committee rule, anyone can ask for a one-week delay on an item before the panel; Democrats plan to invoke that rule if the committee actually musters a quorum to meet tomorrow. Gonzales is widely expected to win the committee's approval -- and ultimately to be confirmed by the full Senate -- but he continues to face criticism for his role in developing the administration's legal strategy on detained terror suspects. A few panel Democrats are expected to vote against Gonzales' nomination, possibly including Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Charles E. Schumer of New York. On CBS' "Face The Nation" on Sunday, Kennedy said he was "leaning against" Gonzales. "I wasn't satisfied with his responses."
