Dear Chuck - Mukasey is ALREADY under the sway of "extreme ideology" or he wouldn't have been nominated

chucky thinks mukasey isn't under the sway of "extreme ideology..." he must be smokin' that funny stuff again...

Senator Charles Schumer, the New York Democrat who turned the tide for this nomination, said that if the Senate did not approve Mr. Mukasey, the president would get by with an interim appointment who would be under the sway of “the extreme ideology of Vice President Dick Cheney.” He argued that Mr. Mukasey could be counted on to reverse the politicization of the Justice Department that occurred under Alberto Gonzales, and that Mr. Mukasey’s reticence about calling waterboarding illegal might well become moot, because the Senate was considering a law making clear that it is illegal.

That is precisely the sort of cozy rationalization that Mr. Schumer and his colleagues have used so many times to back down from a confrontation with Mr. Bush. The truth is, Mr. Mukasey is already in the grip of that “extreme ideology.” If he were not, he could have answered the question about waterboarding.

what strange, powerful, magical spell must schumer and difi be under to so completely abandon not only their constituents but also the very constitution that they have taken an oath to defend...?
