Not really sure how I take this: During his three-decade legislative career, Schumer, 59, has developed a reputation as a razor-elbowed, shamelessly self-serving, media-addicted political monster. He is also arguably the single most effective lawmaker of his generation. Now, with confidant Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) hanging on to his seat by a thread, […]
Just breaking on CNN that Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have blocked the confirmation of Eric Holder for Attorney General for one week. Apparently the big show stopped was rather or not he would prosecute people involved with torture (imagine that). This leads me to a couple of points: What do the Republicans have against […]
The Washington Posts’ editorial board has gone out of their way to defend Michael Mukasey’s comThe Washington Posts’ editorial boardments this week that the attorney hiring scandal wouldn’t be prosecuted.

Last night Dan Abrams talked about the 60 Minutes report that Karl Rove was behind the prosecution and conviction of former Al. governor Don Siegelman. At the end of the segment he called on Michael Mukasey to investigate the whole matter. On a personal note I got to say I am really becoming an Abrams […]
Thanks to our new Attorney General. Thanks to Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein! Attorney General Michael Mukasey refused Friday to give Congress details of the government’s investigation into interrogations of terror suspects that were videotaped and destroyed by the CIA. He said doing so could raise questions about whether the inquiry is vulnerable to political […]
Drum Roll!!!! Alberto Gonzales!!! Negative news coverage may have cost former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales his job, but it won him a dubious honor Wednesday from a magazine published by the American Bar Association: Lawyer of the Year. Additionally, the ABA Journal named Gonzales’ successor, Attorney General Michael Mukasey, as its top lawyer for 2008 […]
And now we have an Attorney General who is in lockstep with the White House: In his second day on the job, Attorney General Michael Mukasey leaped into the political fray, telling a key Democratic senator he opposes his electronic surveillance plan and would recommend the president veto it if it is passed. In a […]
