WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 — President Bush has decided to nominate Michael B. Mukasey, a former federal judge from New York who has presided over some high-profile terrorism trials, as his next attorney general and is expected to announce the selection Monday, according to several people familiar with the decision.
Should the Senate confirm him, Mr. Mukasey (pronounced mew-KAY-see) would become the third attorney general to serve under Mr. Bush. As the top law enforcement officer in the United States, he would preside over a Justice Department that has been buffeted by Congressional inquiries into the firing of federal prosecutors and the resignation of the previous attorney general, Alberto R. Gonzales.
strangely, if that is what CSJ really said, its weird that instead of confirming or denying it, singabising has to resort to using an American exampleOriginally posted by LazerLordz:That's because Bush has tried time and time again to stuff the judiciary and the AGC with his own friends and kakis.![]()
Make that a very public statement to Michael Khoo's attention, then you will surely not be a lion and so boldly noisy.Originally posted by lionnoisy:When the judge was transferred to AGC,s/he is not a judge any
