During the confirmation hearings for Mukasey, and especially in
subsequent hearings, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee had
some pointed and pithy things to say about accountability, and we
need to remind them of the arguments they made before, and to hold
Eric Holder to at least the same standard. Based on these past
statements, the best prospects we have are these in roughly this
order.
1) Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (RI)
2) Senator Dick Durbin (IL)
3) Senator Patrick Leahy (VT)
Please call each of the four above if you can, and do some other
Democrats if you have time. Other possible good advocates are Senator
Ted Kennedy (MA), and even maybe Senator Chuck Schumer (NY). Though
you will recall that the only Democrats who voted for Mukasey in
committee were Schumer and Feinstein, otherwise he never would have
made it to a vote in the full Senate, where he barely squeaked though
with the smallest margin ever. And this was despite the fact that any
fool could tell up front he would be nothing but a made man for the
Bush crime family. Don't even bother calling the Republicans.
