Why is she supporting him? She’s an ultra liberal leftist representing the most liberal leftist city. Is Muskasey an ultra liberal who’s wearing sheep’s cloting?
Feinstein has broken with her party before. She voted to confirm Jeffrey Sutton and Edward Southwick to the Federal courts.
I think there are two reasons. Obviously, the RATS fear a recess appointment. If they reject Mukasey, Bush could recess-appoint a Judge Bork type and that would really fry them.
Two, both DiFi and Mukasey are Jewish. I doubt she and Schumer will be the only Jewish RATS to vote yea.
No way is Mukasey liberal. He is quite conservative.
