Attorney General Nominee Provides Senate Details About Former Clients, Quitting Private Club

Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON: A "dial-a-porn" service and the New York Daily News are among companies Michael Mukasey, President George W. Bush's choice for attorney general, has listed as former legal clients in documents turned over to senators who will decide whether to confirm him.

Responding to questions posed by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the former federal judge said he also quit a private club that refused to admit women.

The 50-page document, a routine form filled out by presidential nominees, was released Tuesday by the committee. No date has been set for Mukasey's confirmation hearings.

Mukasey, who served as a federal judge from 1988 to 2006, listed the pornography and Daily News cases as two of the 10 "most significant litigated matters" in which he had been involved while in private practice.

In the document, Mukasey said he was part of the defense team for a dial-up porn service against charges of interstate transportation of obscene materials. The case was litigated in 1987, before he was appointed to the federal bench.

I wonder if those boys did some foot tapping in the bathroom stalls?

really really good guy.....damn he sure knows how to pick them doesn't he.

Sorry, this is a pathetically weak objection.

Note, the man is not accused of using the porn, not even of taking a peak.

Or maybe you think a newspaper shouldn't have a lawyer?

Give it a rest. YOU HAVE NOTHING ON HIM EXCEPT THAT HE'S CONSERVATIVE. A law and order conservative is a very very good idea right now.

nominee for Attorney General until requested papers had been handed over from Abu Gonzales. Did I miss something??
