Is anyone really surprised that Mukasey is trying to delay congressional inquiries into the CIA’s destruction of interrogation videotapes? Or that the DOJ is trying to get U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy to “stay out of the matter”
Mukasey is nothing more than another Alberto Gonzales, but this time, with some intelligence.
Back in November I wrote 2 articles, Senator Dianne Feinstein Caves In To Bush and Senator Dianne Feinstein Failed Us!, concerning Senator Dianne Feinstein capitulating to the Bush Administration and warning that the ethics, principles, and values of the DOJ under Michael Mukasey would be no different than under Alberto Gonzales.
His approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee is due solely because you abandoned your constituents, the people of California, to support him along with Senator Schumer from New York.
I sent you emails imploring you to reject the nomination of Mukasey, and your response?

Dear Mr. S……..:
Thank you for writing about Judge Michael Mukasey’s nomination as Attorney General.
After doing my due diligence and carefully reviewing Judge Mukasey’s record, I concluded that he will be a strong and independent leader of the Justice Department. I believe that if he was not confirmed, an acting Attorney General, who would not be confirmed by the Senate, would have led the Department for the remainder of the administration. The Justice Department is too important for that to happen.
Therefore, I supported Judge Mukasey’s nomination and voted to confirm him. I made a statement on the Senate floor explaining my decision which I have enclosed, along with an op-ed I wrote and op-eds from several newspapers on the importance of confirming Judge Mukasey.
Please know that I appreciate your opinion and hope that you will continue to inform me of your views. If you should have any other comments you want to share with me, or if you have a question I can answer, please feel free to contact my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator

If you really had done your “due diligence” and carefully reviewed George Bush’s abysmal record for the last 6 years you would have realized that Mukasey was not nominated by Bush to uphold the law or protect the constitution. Mukaseys’ job is to protect, cover-up and conceal the illegal and unconstitutional activities of the Bush Administration.
And now you, Senator Feinstein, are part of the problem instead of part the solution.
