President Bush has settled on Michael B. Mukasey, a retired federal judge from New York, to replace Alberto Gonzales as attorney general and will announce his selection Monday, a source familiar with the president's decision said Sunday evening.

Mukasey, who has handled terrorist cases in the U.S. legal system for more than a decade, would become the nation's top law enforcement officer.

Bye bye habeus. He thinks "terror" should have it's own legal system, even if Bush can unilaterally determine whoever he wants to be a terrorist.

Bye bye First Amendment. Giuliani's "broken windows" legal approach crushed civil liberties and free speech in NYC, only to be scolded by the courts for those abuses over and over again. This guy was advising Giuliani to destroy tens of thousands of works of art from the streets of NY, in the name of law and order, KNOWING it was illegal to do so, but didn't care.

At least his tenure will be short.

I oppose this 'racist bigoted neo-nazi baby-killer' nobody's ever heard of.

Doesn't matter if all the democrats like him. They are lame and traitors to their party anyway. Yes, Bitter, party of one! I voted for their lying asses.

but as for a the Judge, he is still a republican. So if appointed he will succumb to the republican side that is greed driven and power seeking. Once the GOP gene kicks in, he will bend over and do whatever Bush wants. Just like the democrats do now.

I think this is a clever ruse. By naming Mukasey, I think he thinks he is getting us to think the opposite of what we think he thinks, but I think he wanted Mukasey all along.

You people amaze me. Mukasey has already knelt to the little dictator, or he wouldn't be up there.

Get real.

He sounds like a good pick, though I'm still hoping for Larry Thompson!

Who needs an AG? Let them do without for a year and see what happens. It's time for the R's to save some money and this could be a start. Anyway, it would take him about 6 months to get to know what is going on and it is such a mess that he will be as lame as the rest of this administration.

Chertoff and Alito knew this guy and he Federalist Society for sure..!

You can bet Chertoff made this pick..

With Alito and Scalia echoing the decision..

Again I am almost certain he is a Federalist Society Judge..and that is not good for our Republic..

Proof?

This is the same stuff recycled. We don't want a fight, so here's some slower acting but still lethal poison packaged differently.

Recall the slick presence nominee Roberts had, giving essentially nothing of substance, but looking and sounding just fine. He was confirmed quickly by trusting, even admiring inquisitors.

A unitary executive (dictator) enabler is now the Chief Justice.

Beware of any person appointed by the junta.

After giving a close read of the new book "If I Did It" I can only conclude O.J. *did* write the "Secret Diaries of Adolf Hitler" and "Autobiography of Howard Hughes" both. Furthermore, Arthur Golden may be an alias of O.J., since he was recently arrested for stealing his Memorabilia of a Geisha. Breakfast of Champions, my ass.

Sorry, but I fail to see what your ass or any

Whoever gets in there will just cover up for Bush lies. Might as well--seriously--just shut down the Department of Justice until we get an honest Democratic administration in January 2009. Can't let Bush get away with anything else. Time to pursue BusHitler for war crimes when we get in. So sick of seeing these crooks go after so-called terrorists who simply recognize the evil in neo-con America.

Is Mukasey another Bush/Chaney hand puppet? indubitably!!! Else why would he be nominated?
