	The Volokh Conspiracy - Artur Davis:
		It appears that Davis made up his mind that Goodling was a credible, sympathetic witness, and the best use of her was to use her to score points against others.
		Just to go back to how crazy it was that Arthur Davis was the last to ask questions: The Washington Post is reporting that Goodling's attorney specifically told Davis about Goodling's ability to rebut some of Gonzales's prior testimony (regarding whether or not AGAG had had an opportunity to talk to "fact witnesses").
		Of course, as the previous "Capitol Briefing" entry points out, by waiting until Davis' turn to bring up this line of questioning, thanks to their numerical advantage on the committee the other Democrats were able to keep giving time to Davis to continue with this line of questioning without interruption by the Republicans.
