| Leahy to Vote Against Mukasey |
| 2007-11-03 |
| Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said Friday he will vote against confirming Michael Mukasey as the next attorney general. President Bush's nomination of Mr. Mukasey, a former chief federal judge in New York, has gone from a sure-thing two weeks ago to yet another political battle between the White House and congressional Democrats. The uproar over Mr. Mukasey began over his refusal to unequivocally say that an interrogation technique that uses simulated drowning, called waterboarding, qualifies as torture and is illegal. |

| #3 btw - with Schumer and Feinstein voting for Mukasy, Leahy can start addressing him as "Mr. Atty General", regardless of how he votes. Partisan dimwit |

| #2 Were I Mukasey, I would use a negative vote by Leahy as a character reference on any future job interviews. Leaky Leahy is a lying piece of shit |

| #1 Of course he will. Leahy is a better man because he is a Democrat and Mukasey is not. |
