Huh... who?! What’s the bio on this guy?

I was hoping for Ted Olsen. This sounds like a wimp out.

Probably is. I heard Schmucky Screwmer has already given his seal of approval.

"I was hoping for Ted Olsen. This sounds like a wimp out."

It does to me too.

Nan Aron of the Alliance for Justice recommended Mukasey as a pick for the Supreme Court. The Alliance for Justice actively opposed Samuel Alito and John Roberts for their confirmations to the Supreme Court.

Sorry for the large text, but this bears repeating.

While I would agree..., Ted has already served as Solicitor General and (as a result of 9/11) MORE THAN PAID HIS DUES!

At this point in an administration, there is little point in anyone "joining" (even for resume's sake.....)!

You're right! This is a "wimp out". You see, Bush, in his ever increasing desire to have some sort of legacy, continues to seek approval from those who would prefer his demise. It's totally irrational on Bush's part. But then again, Bush has made a pattern of ignoring those who put him into office in the first place. He remains in contempt as he continues to refuse to uphold his oath of protecting this country by protecting its borders. In a "back-room" deal, he opened up this country's roads to trucks coming in from below the border and allowing those trucks to proceed without inspection.

I for one have approached the line of calling for Bush's impeachment on this count alone! He has proved to be a disaster in his second term. His legacy will read..."He promised toughness, he delivered weakness. He promised to protect but instead he surrendered."

You are so right...Olsen is the guy..but GWB is taking
the wimp road..again. Schumer, Reid, etc. come out and
trash someone and Bush backs off...hell...let’ fight these
Senators that think they are the last word on the
process...I have lost so much respect for Bush because of
his obvious ineptness that it makes me ill to think
about it....I won’t go into it...but how logical it is,
and was, for anyone to see...that Afghanistan was the
place to settle in and make a model area for our needs,
and pursue Bin laden..take care of Saddam without any
troops being killed (the past 4 years)....and our strength
of our Military would be growing instead of declining
because of the situation in Iraq. CIA could have been a
key player in the whole scenario...JK

Bush is looking more and more like the sheriff who couldn’t shoot straight.
