Despite the criticism they have heaped onto President Bush's attorney general nominee over the past few weeks, Democrats appear to lack the gumption necessary to do everything possible to prevent Michael Mukasey from becoming the country's top cop.

Two prominent Democrats on the Judiciary Committee surprised colleagues when they announced support for Mukasey late Friday afternoon. The support from Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Charles Schumer, the New York Democrat who recommended Mukasey early on, virtually assured the success of his nomination.

I don't know about you, but it seems that the democrats are asleep. Can't they stand up for anything, or as soon as anything becomes a challenge, they give up? I'm really disappointed in the democrats.

I am extremely disappointed by the democrats. They MUST be getting paid off or something. Allowing domestic spying, and now this? I read all about Mukasy-- he is a bastard! He says the president should be exempt from our laws, and hints that he doesn't think waterboarding is torture. Fuck this guy.

It seems they really have been sold out.
