Mukasey Asserts Independent Conservatism at Hearings, Confirmation Assured

From the Washington Post:

"Attorney general nominee Michael B. Mukasey said yesterday that he would chart an independent path for the Justice Department ... Mukasey also expressed conservative views on social issues as divergent as obscenity and immigration, saying he would consider more robust prosecution of those caught being in the country illegally.

Most of the committee's Democrats, including Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), nonetheless repeated earlier predictions that Mukasey will be confirmed easily and with strong bipartisan support. "I'm encouraged by the answers," Leahy told reporters."
