Liveblog Mothership: Senate Oversight Justice Hearing w/Mukasey

Sen Leahy is beginning oversight hearings, questioning AG Mukasey about the Justice Dept. on C-Span right now. He has listed the misdeeds of the White House, mentioning erasing tapes, too much secrecy, . . .rein in the abuses of this administration . . . we must preserve our freedoms for future generations . . .

It's music, I tell you, music.

I really wonder what Mukasey will say. Surely a ray of light somewhere?

Spector is up now. Retroactive immunity will seriously undermine the separation of powers.  Yee-ha.

I'll hold the football again. Hope springs eternal.
