Questioning AG Nominee Mukasey...

[Cypress]

Given the nature of our times, you'd think that the priorities for questioning an AG nominee would focus on torture, civil rights, habeus corpus, the nebulas legal elements of the "war on terror".

Senator Orin Hatch (R-wingnutopia) focused his efforts on pornography.


Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) today participated in the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing of Judge Michael Mukasey, President Bush’s nomination to be Attorney General of the United States.

Hatch specifically questioned Mukasey about how the Department of Justice can ramp up its prosecution of obscenity and pornography cases.

If I see Janet Jackson's boob one more time, I fear our country is lost.

Dogs started having kittens, children bvecame axe murderers, and worse perversions.
But Jerry falwell is gone now, who will save us if that happens again ?
