Posted by Orin Kerr: Bush Taps Former District Judge Michael Mukasey For AG Spot: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_09_16-2007_09_22.shtml#1190040266
This move was widely rumored over the weekend, and [1]now is official. I don't know very much about Mukasey; by reputation he was a very good district court judge, but he has a lower profile than the other candidates. Press reports over the weekend seem to be presenting him as a relatively moderate conservative who was picked because he was [2]confirmable in a Democratic Senate.
