New Attorney General: Mukasey
Okay, not yet but I think it looks like a good shot for Mukasey to take Alberto’s place as an attorney general. Leahy has even provided information that said he is willing to accept him as the new attorney general based on questions he had asked him. I think the biggest concern for congress (and it should be) is that Mukasey can independently run along side the executive branch and not under it as they had been. They are looking to address the issues with warrant less roving wiretaps and developing a cohesive approach to address the concerns that congress has with the executive branch. With a lacking justice department congress had been crippled. Now, they should be able to get information about the concerns that their bosses have (which happen to be the American people. Who would have guessed!).
