A breaking report at Roll Call says the Senate may soon give Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a vote of no confidence.

A source told Roll Call the matter was discussed at today's Senate Democratic luncheon, but had few additional details.

"The vote would be nonbinding and have no substantive impact, but it would force all Republican Senators into the politically uncomfortable position of saying publicly whether they continue to support Gonzales in the wake of the scandal surrounding the firings of eight U.S. attorneys," wrote the paper's Erin Billings.

The full story can be read at the Roll Call website.
