Another critic heard from on Mukasey;this time from the right

Saw this on Chris Suellentrop’s Opinionator blog on the New York Times and thought I’d pass along the link. Essentially, we have a conservative (Ron Dreher) who finds significant constitutional issues in Judge Michael Mukasey’s answers to questions on torture and executive power.

I say they shouldn’t vote for him, period. This country cannot afford an attorney general who believes that executive power should be expanded so greatly. I don’t care if the office sits vacant until Bush is out of office. The line has to be drawn by the Senate.

Read my Dispatches column tomorrow for my take (Hint: It is the same as Ron Dreher’s.)
