1. Feingold still undecided. WTF?
Feingold Still Undecided

The Wisconsin Democrat who sits on the Judiciary Committee has issued a statement in which he concedes he has not yet made a decision on Mukasey:

He may be the best nominee we can get from this administration in this respect. But I am concerned about his views on executive power, and I am weighing whether his answers to questions in that area adequately demonstrate a commitment to the rule of law.

4. I knew Df was a closeted Repug -- but Shumer????
He's been had - big time. Time will tell on what issue he THINKS he has some leverage.

Waterboarding is a HUGE issue -- why give this guy a break on the issue. Mukasy MUST know what it is - "not being briefed" is a red flag.

Better to go without an AG than go with someone who says he does not know what this means vis a vis torture.

5. He still has to be voted on.
The whole senate has to vote. And in a way, what Feinstein said makes sense more than Shumner who no doubt is playing politics. She said if they didn't put him in for a vote it is hard to tell what bush would appoint during the recess. And she is correct.
