I must admit I know next
to nothing about the
Attorney General designate, Michael
Mukasey. However, I predict an easy confirmation. Most Democrats seem happy with the choice, and while some
conservatives were willing to go to bat for Ted Olsen, it was not going to happen. As I noted during the
immigration bill debacle, President Bush has no political capital left. It is better to go with someone who you can confirm than go to the mattresses at this point for someone who will not be
confirmed.

Be gentle -- though if someone actually reads this stuff, I will be thrilled!
That said, I have a low tolerance for abusive comments -- disagree with me, just don't be mean!
