The greatest and most influential boycott of all time...
Perhaps the greatest and most influential boycott in the history of this country would be for ALL liberals/progressives to unaffiliate/unregister themselves from the Democratic Party. Nothing would send a clearer message to ALL our constituents than that!
If Gonzalez gets approved as AG, this is exactly what I will do. I will not be a member of a political party that allows the approval of a candidate for AG who condoned torture and disregarded human rights and international law as in the Geneva Conventions.
However, what I want to see is a blistering questioning from Democrats (which some are doing), along with a NO vote on his confirmation.
They could also hold a press conference detailing how they don't believe that someone who refers to treaties that the US is a signatory to as "quaint" and "outdated" while endorsing torture is fit to be the top law enforcement official in the land.
