Durbin: No Answers, No Deputy
By Paul Kiel - January 31, 2008, 2:04PM

After Michael Mukasey's genially hostile performance yesterday, maybe it's become apparent that genial hostility is the name of the game:

Senate Democrats plan to delay a floor vote on President Bush’s nominee for the No. 2 post at the Justice Department until the department responds to several Judiciary Committee oversight letters.

Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin , D-Ill., said Thursday that the nomination of Mark Filip for deputy attorney general will be “held on the floor” until the panel receives responses, adding that Democrats have notified the department of the demand.
