    I'm a little concerned by the nice things that Schumer and Glenn Greenwald say about Mukasey, but if Bill Kristol endorses Mukasey, then I'd support his nomination.

    And isn't it funny how the Second Circuit Court of Appeals is cited by Glenn as a source of wisdom criticizing Judge Mukasey? But the Mukasey-supporting Fourth Circuit is "far right"?
