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. -
The difference between the USA and Singapore is that a sitting Judge is NEVER made an Attorney-General; unlike in Singapore when a current Senior District Court Judge was ''transferred'' to the Attorney-General's Chambers to take on an even more junior role to the Attorney-General.
The last line in your post clearly indicated that it was an EX-Judge that the US President has nominated to be the next Attorney-General.
Be more discerning if you want to blow the horn. -
When the judge was transferred to AGC,s/he is not a judge any
more,dear. -
That's because Bush has tried time and time again to stuff the judiciary and the AGC with his own friends and kakis.

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.
this is so weird and illogical
Is he telling us that its allright to stuff the judiciary with one own's cronies just because possibly the Americans have done it too?

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

Check your facts before you blow the trumpet again - this 'referenced piece - [see Page 8]' - confirmed again that Senior District Judge Michael Khoo was dismissed from his position after he awarded a lienient judgement towards JBJ, and was immediately transferred to the AG's Chambers - serving under the AG.
