Mukasey as Next Attorney General

Judge Mukasey (1+ / 0-)

He's a close friend of Rudy Giuliani.

I suspec6t he's "down" with the Israel-first, dual national neocon types like Wolfowitz, Dov Zakheim, Richard Perle et al.; he is in any case an Orthodox Jew. No, I don't see being Jewish, or Orthodox, as a disqualification, but we don't need more high-level federal officials who believe American foreign policy should be dictated by the Israeli extreme right. His views on those matters ought to be questioned.

He certainly has a reputation as a "hanging judge" in criminal matters.

I -- a civil attorney -- tried one matter before him. He has a first-rate intellect, undeniably, but is also arrogant as all hell, and utterly convinced of his own rectitude, if not his infallibility.

He is also one of the most humorless men I have ever met in my life.

QUESTION FOR EXAMINATION
Did the Mukasey Panel by and through their Summary Order 03-3117 filed
January 14, 2004 (attached) continue a systematic pattern to hide documented Judicial Fraud and Extra Judicial Acts of Misconduct committed by District Judge Janet C. Hall – doing so by intentionally avoiding the procedural process of a 28 U.S.C. 455 affidavit and motion (the premise of the appeal) in order to circumvent the standard of review fora 28 U.S.C. 455 motion, that being: "Impartiality might reasonably be questioned"?"

And this is from a blog, facts about his son .... interesting CONNECTION. BINGO!!

Marc Mukasey - Partner at Bracewell & Giuliani where he "focuses on the defense of white collar criminal and regulatory cases." The firm also states: "Recently, Mr. Mukasey has been successful in persuading Department of Justice prosecutors to close an antitrust investigation against a major corporation without the filing of charges, and to drop securities fraud and mail fraud investigations of his business clients. He also successfully argued a downward departure motion that secured a favorable outcome for his client in the face of vigorous opposition by the Department of Justice." Marc's father, Michael Mukasey, former chief judge of the Southern District of New York, is also a member of Giuliani's Justice Advisory Committee.

And this is a great OpEd showing how Mukasey's brand of justice shown in the Padilla case will totally decimate the US Bill of Rights ..
