President Bush has settled on retired federal judge Michael B. Mukasey to replace Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General, two sources familiar with the decision said Sunday.
The appointment of Mukasey, 66, considered a law-and-order conservative and authority on national security issues, could come as early as Monday morning, the sources said.

good thinking...sounds like you have good priorities...
anymore I keep thinking that I have taken a wrong turn in here...more and more behavior is becoming behavior that I used to think was lib reserved, except the mantra has become: I’m a conservative and you are not.
Just would love to see what the qualifications are and the facts are ..not innuendo and insult.
Throws hands up and heads for another shower to wash off mud.
Bush said Gonzales, his loyal colleague from Texas who was his White House counsel before heading to Justice, had worked tirelessly to keep the nation safe.

Not from illegal alien entry into the US, not from their continued presence, not by streamlining attempts to discover them and deport them, and not by enforcing Laws on the books.
If this is Bush’s notion of “keeping the nation safe”, then his appointment of another AG makes me just a bit nervous, since Gonzo spent so much time shirking Law enforcement duties and negotiating with foreign entities in turd world nations to our south to erode the financial, physical, and demographic integrity of our Nation.
Why not leave the position vacant, let the current Assistant AG run things and avoid the Sinate hearings crapola!
No, I don’t know it to be true, which is why I said “reportably” and “If thats true.”
Just as obviously, the President couldn’t be expected to name someone he didn’t intend to nominate, so, as with all nominations, one has to rely on the White House rumor mill as repeated by the press.
You sure have me there, most of the Republicans are pretty spineless.
Also the leper-CON Bill O’Reilly will shut everybody up that even tries to complain.
Hannity will of course lap up everything Bush says and say how smart Bush is and how we don't have time to argue over these small matters.
We needed a tough , no nonsense man like Ted Olsen.
Instead we get a Mr. In Between.
More RINOvirus to get rid of.
How can the WaPo and others write a headline based on a "source" without some reference to the vagueness of it? This headline implies that Bush has made an announcement or sent out a press release.
I always think of a source-close-to-the-white-house as someone from the paper walking down Pennsylvania Ave by the White House. The MSM makes up a story and then debates it with other media outlets.
I agree. Lets wait and see what he has to say before we react.
He’s already got Schumer’s seal of approval, so it’s a done deal. Bush really has lost his political cajones. He should have sent Ted Olsen up to the Senate and dared the ‘Rats to shoot him down.
Well then its a good thing he isn’t being nominated to the Supreme Court.
BTW a bunch of FReepers are slamming this poor guy and, by extent the PResident, I guess ol’ ROnnie is just a liberal RINO, huh?
Then again, he did appoint that “filthy Mooslimb” Khalizad.
Dang RINOS!!!
BOOOOOOOOO!!! WE WANT TED....WE WANT TED....WE WANT TED!!
I don’t know for sure, but I think this might be the judge that kept ruling against the White House in the Padilla case. I will have to look and see if I can find anything. If it is the same judge, then you are right.
Judge =bad
law and order fanatic =bad
this is not good for the second amendment
Much ado about nothing. All Bush wants to do in his final year is to throw the borders open to the NWO. The AG appointment in year eight is meaningless.
He should have done a reccess appointment with Karl Rove or Judge Bork.
