The Mind of Mukasey - Andrew Sullivan

You know, after the last two years of President Bush replacing the most heinous and ridiculous of his cabinet one would think people would hold a greater degree of skepticism. Those like Robert Gates might come with the right credentials but thus far he hasn't accomplished anything, let alone steer this administration back in the proper direction. So the idea that someone like Michael Mukasey would return the Justice department to its former glory and respect is, to say the least, laughable. It's not that I believe Mukasey is a stooge or someone unworthy of the job, but nothing in what has been said about the man makes me think that he will significantly improve things in his department.
