Breaking: Schumer and Feinstein to Support Mukasey's Nomination

No sooner had Senate Judiciary Committee chair Patrick Leahy said he'd oppose Michael Mukasey's nomination when Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein announced they'd support him. Yesterday, David posed the question of whether the Dems would unite to torpedo Mukasey's nomination, in light of his views on executive power and refusal to call waterboarding torture, or whether they'd wimp out. Looks like we have our answer.

These two just kissed their re-election bye bye

Feinstein is smart to support this judicial nominee with his views on racial issues, they are in keeping with Jewish Supremacy views. California is 5% Jewish but both of the Senators are Jewish and half of the Democratic Congress persons. JD, Feinstein is 60% approval ratings in California because we like her views on Israel and the middle east and other views as well.

Once again displaced loyalty - loyalty to a colleague trumps loyalty to constituents or the our constitution or the country. A spineless cave in to BUSH AND THE IDEOLOGUES TROUNCING THE PRINCIPLES OF WHAT THIS CONTRY WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE WE STAND FOR. WIMPING OUT AGAIN. How can we accept that the president cane be above the law, especially with the mere mention of terrorist and the guise of needing security. We need transparency and the adherence to the rule of law. This cave-in allows the DEMS TO LOOKE UNPRINCIPLED, ALL IN THE FEAR OD BEEING CALED SOFT ON TERRORISTS! DO NOT ACCEPT ANOTHER ENABLER OF BUSHIS EMPIRICAL IMMAGE.

Oh, its just a sheer coincidence that both of them are Jewish! You know, war on terror requires sacrifice, particularily from our enemies, like Iraqis!

"Palestinian terror", peace-loving, russian-born settler exclaimed!

"Show me a road to peace!" - Iraq-occupied Kuwaiti said.

It is logical to ask "have Jewish groups been pressuring Feinstein, Schumer, Spector and others?

If passed through will Mukassey dismiss the upcoming Aipac espionage trial?

These are logical questions that should be asked.
