Attorney General Nominee Michael Mukasey

Rick Garnett has occasionally called our attention to Rob Dreher.  Here's what Dreher has to say about Mukasey, according to The Opinionator (New York Times online):

A conservative vote against Mukasey: “I was appalled to hear the judge say that the president has the right to decide which laws he’s going to obey, under certain circumstances,” says “Crunchy Con” Rod Dreher at his Beliefnet blog. He adds, “This country cannot afford an attorney general who believes that executive power should be expanded so greatly. I don’t care if the office sits vacant until Bush is out of office. The line has to be drawn by the Senate.”
