Mukasey nomination as AG goes ahead

Mukasey did not answer questions on what he considers torture so Democrats said they would block his nomination as new US Attorney General. Makes complete sense to me as it was a straight forward, yet incredibly important issue and he simply refused to answer important questions on the subject. There is no way in hell I’d trust a guy like that. But then this:

Judiciary Committee endorses AG nomination on 11-8 vote

Despite the criticism they have heaped onto President Bush’s attorney general nominee over the past few weeks, Democrats appear to lack the gumption necessary to do everything possible to prevent Michael Mukasey from becoming the country’s top cop. The Raw Story

If only the Democrats had a majority in the House and Senate (they do). Then they could stop being such fucking douchebags and finally stand up to an administration that has been in the minority since 2004. Seriously, what are they doing?
