The coordinated statements released late Friday afternoon by two Democratic senators that they would break ranks and support President Bush’s attorney general nominee largely muted opposition from a Democratic base that has become increasingly frustrated with Congress, activist leaders said Monday.

Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) effectively thwarted plans by the activist left to use the weekend to mobilize ahead of Tuesday’s Judiciary Committee vote and pressure wayward senators to reject the nominee, activists said.

2. Bush is not going to put someone up for AG that is satisfactory

to the Dem base...that is a sad, undisputable fact. Still - Mukasey is full of shit on waterboarding. At least they could ask him to submit to waterboarding in order to get their vote for him.
