New Attorney General opposes changes to wiretap law

WASHINGTON (CNN) — In his second day on the job, Attorney General Michael Mukasey leaped into the political fray, telling a key Democratic senator he opposes his electronic surveillance plan and would recommend the president veto it if it is passed.

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on the eve of crucial committee votes to update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), Mukasey was adamant in opposing Leahy's plan for changing the law.

Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell co-signed the letter released Wednesday night by the Justice Department.

"We strongly oppose the proposed substitute amendment. If the substitute is part of a bill that is presented to the president, we and the president's other senior advisers will recommend that he veto the bill," they said.

WHEN WILL WE TAKE A STAND? WHEN WILL IT BE TO LATE!!!

as one of Bush's senior political advisors?

Shit, he doesn't waste any time, does he? And he doesn't give the faintest pretense of staying out of the politics of law enforcement.

Thank you Feinstein. Thank you very much.

Don't suppose that will happen though....

Mukasey, you jr & cheney closed the barn door too fucking late, get over it, UBL kicked jr's ass. You are nothing but a reactionary wimp.

She can get her new warm, caring pal to make it right.

I'd love to be in the room when the Judiciary Committee discusses this.

Dems Set To Kill Feinstein Censure Resolution
snip>>>>>

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the state's Democratic Party pushed back Wednesday against a proposal by a coalition of progressives to censure the four-term senator for her recent votes siding with the Bush Administration, dismissing the proposal as a distraction put forth by activists who did not speak for the majority of Democrats in the Golden State.

Feinstein's office defended what they called her record of standing up to Bush, citing her role in recent probes into allegations of partisan firing at the Justice Department, as well as her votes against the Supreme Court nominations of Chief Justice John Roberts and Samuel Alito.

"She led the Judiciary Committee investigation into Alberto Gonzales and the firing of the U.S Attorneys," said Feinstein spokesman Scott Gerber. "What Sen. Feinstein is going to continue to do is fight for this issues that are important for all Californians."

Nice little slap. Bad progressive, bad, naughty boys and girls.

"dismissing the proposal as a distraction put forth by activists who did not speak for the majority of Democrats in the Golden State."

Unfuckingbelievable!
