Key Senators Back Mukasey Nomination

HeadlineNov 05, 2007

Here in the United States, attorney general hopeful Michael Mukasey appears headed for confirmation after three key senators announced they will support his nomination. This weekend, Senate Judiciary Committee members Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Charles Schumer of New York and Dianne Feinstein of California said they will back Mukasey despite his refusal to condemn waterboarding as a form of torture. Schumer and Feinstein said they are backing Mukasey in part to stabilize the leaderless Justice Department and to avoid recess appointments.
