Comments on: Mukasey Passes Key Senate Test

Judiciary Panel Vote Virtually Ensures Attorney General Nominee's Confirmation

HOW INCREDIBLE THIS PRESIDENT WOULD SACRIFICE UNITED STATES SECURITY in this way actually threaten to leave the US (he pretends to care about) with NO ATTORNEY GENERAL? This is one more example that Bush is the most arrogant and irresponsible president in US history. Is he really saying it''s impossible to find a Republican judge who opposes torture???
And the media once again is in Bush''s lap (or under his thumb)...Shame on CBS and the rest of the lame press for not making Bush''s outrageous conduct a top story!

Feinstein is as vile and contemptible a thief as Cheney. Here''s how she helped defraud the American people by rewarding OUR gold lands to a private company...and look at what CALPERS has to say about this stinking animal who disgraces even that gaggle of stinking curs know as the United States Senate.

Of course, she is going to vote for a proponent of torture to the AG post...a man who helped cover up Regime complicity in the murder of six Americans in the first attack on the WTC--training the driver, arranging for the explosives, supplying the detonator and refusing the suggestion of their FBI''s agent provocateur on the inside of the conspiracy that the explosives be replaced with a harmless powder. Mukasey is complicit in the murder of Americans after the fact! He is a scum bag--of course the Senate Judiciary Committee supports him! Birds of a feather!

Feinstein changed her mind - maybe this is the reason

Dianne Feinstein%u2014the ninth wealthiest member of congress%u2014has been beset by monumental ethical conflicts of interest. As a member of the Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee (MILCON) from 2001 to the end of 2005, Senator Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions of dollars to her husband%u2019s firms.
From 1997 through the end of 2005, Feinstein%u2019s husband Richard C. Blum was a majority shareholder in both URS Corp. and Perini Corp. She lobbied Pentagon officials in public hearings to support defense projects that she favored, some of which already were, or subsequently became, URS or Perini contracts. From 2001 to 2005, URS earned $792 million from military construction and environmental cleanup projects approved by MILCON; Perini earned $759 million from such projects.
In 2000, Perini earned a mere $7 million from federal contracts. After 9/11, Perini was transformed into a major defense contractor. In 2004, the company earned $444 million for military construction work in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as for improving airfields for the US Air Force in Europe and building base infrastructures for the US Navy around the globe. In a remarkable financial recovery, Perini shot from near penury in 1997 to logging gross revenues of $1.7 billion in 2005.

Wake up, America!

Bush/Cheney and the neocon con men have sold out the Constitution for their dream of the "Unified Executive" a.k.a., King-for-life, George-The-Defective-Decider.

There is no quicker path to H3LL!

Any democrats who fail to resist these criminals with every last breath become co-conspirators, traitors to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the People they have sworn to serve.

Waterboarding is torture. Torture is illegal under US and International laws. Bush/Cheney and their supporters are WAR CRIMINALS.
