An interesting catch from today's hearings from Emily Bazelon.
Michael Mukasey
Scott Horton makes the case, which I think is correct. There's obviously no question that Mukasey isn't someone I would prefer to see appointed as AG. But the relevant universe.
I'm still inclined to think that Bush wants a fight, but there seems to be some chance that he'll go for the more confirmable Michael Mukasey. Jeralyn, persuasively, sees him.
