\nNo rush for Mukasey confirmation hearing, say Dems
\nBy Elana Schor
\n
\nPresident Bush’s choice of Michael Mukasey as the next attorney general won early praise Monday, but Democrats appeared ready to take their time on a confirmation hearing until the administration plays ball on subpoenaed documents that it continues to withhold.
\n
\nSenate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said the White House’s willingness to comply with outstanding subpoenas on its program of eavesdropping on suspected terrorists, as well as the recent U.S. attorney firings, would have a direct impact on the timeframe for a Mukasey confirmation.
\n
\n“Our focus now will be on securing the relevant information we need so we can proceed to schedule fair and thorough hearings,”\u009d Leahy said in a statement.
\n
\nSen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), ranking Republican on the Judiciary panel, expressed hope that “we don’t get bogged down into preconditions on the nomination with respect to certain pending requests.”\u009d Installing new senior leadership at the Justice Department has become even more crucial, Specter added, in light of multiple vacancies among senior staff and shaken morale at the agency.
