Judge Mukasey might be a fine choice, but the President reportably wanted Ted Olson and chickened out on his first choice. If that’s true, he’s a disappointment once again.

Oh, c’mon ... think a bit. With this congress, Olson would never get through .. for one thing: because he was one of Bush’s lead attorneys in the 2000 election chad spectacle. The WH was already apparently told he was not “acceptable.”

So, you’d want more hearings, more rancor, more MSM interloping and attacking .... just how many simultaneous, ongoing partisan battles to appease their base would be acceptable to you in a time of war?

Do you know this to be true, or is it something someone reported as 'possible'? Everyone has been assuming, or hoping it was Ted Olson, but I never heard the President say one way or the other.

“but the President reportably wanted Ted Olson “

But we will never know if that was true.
