Despite his experience with the terrorism docket, opponents of Mukasey — especially those who are against abortion — are upset about a 1994 case he handled.

From the article that you posted. So this is all what the fuss is about, this guy mishandled an abortion case in 1994! So what do we expect him to do in the next 15 months? Not overturn Roe Versus Wade which no AG will be ever able to do? Or may be he will order 10 million women to have abortions (extreme sarcasm).

Some on our side can be as bad as moveon.org and the left wing lunatics, but fortunately the Republican Party and this President is not a slave of the crazies on our side as the democrats are slaves for their left wing moonbats.

Then put that aside. Why on earth would Bush pick Chuck Schumer’s guy?

barking for a while about this new AG candidate

Hmmm. Interesting interpretation. I have never posted ANYTHING about this person before lightly more than 1/2 hour ago. Where do you get thia "barking for a while" from?

He was handpicked by Senator Schumer. What does that tell you?

Maybe that Schumer was just posturing for the cameras, thinking that in no way would Bush select him, but that it would give Schumer an opportunity to pretend to be concerned with fairness, middle-of-the-roadness, and bipartisanship, while everybody knows that Schumer is none of those...

I don’t know what he’ll do. I do know I didn’t work hard to get President Bush reelected, so he could cede his presidential authority to Charles Schumer. And I don’t think that it’s good for the GOP’s future that Schumer and Reid now run the executive branch.

Schumer wanted him for supreme court thinking that he will be pro-abortion. In the case of AG this is meaningless, this new AG will be strong on the war on terror and that is what is important, and that is what Schumer and the other traitors hate, another AG strong on the war on terror.

Moreover, the 1994 case was about a lot more than abortion. Mukasey sent a person seeking political asylum back to the Chicoms.

Were you okay with Clinton and Reno sending Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba?

Bush was not going to get impached. If anything, by caving into them, he is much worse off.

Schumer and Reid are not running the executive branch, they are not even running Congress. They are being crushed by this President on every issue, in particular the war on terror including Iraq.

Please name Schumer and Reid great victories since they took Congress, I am waiting.

So, you think the war on terror is best prosecuted by law enforcement and not the military? Because that’s what Mukasey’s record indicates.

No I was not OK with that. What is the background for the case of this Chinese refugee? Do you know why did he send him back?

There's a good chance that there was no legal basis for keeping him here.

Stop the crap and putting things in my mouth that I did not say. You are using liberal tactics here.

It is important for the AG to be strong on fighting the war on terror because he is head of the FBI and the Justice department. From the record Musakey fit this profile and that is good.

Yes, the man and his wife refused to have a MANDATED abortion. He feared he would be punished if sent back to China, Mukasey didn’t feel that this was political persecution.

He shoulda went with Olsen, and let the Democrats make fools of themselves (again). He could also have selected John Bolton, and drove the asshats nuts, too.....

This is B.S. of the first magnitude, allowing the low-life slugs to dictate who can be nominated from THE OPPOSITE PARTY.

Shame on GWB on this one.
