MICHAEL MUKASEY GOOD CHOICE?
- HERE ARE A FEW FACTS ABOUT MUKASEY'S TENURE AND THEN YOU DECIDE:
In 1987, Mukasey was nominated as a federal district judge in Manhattan by President Ronald Reagan; he took the bench in 1988 - Mukasey also was the judge in the litigation between developer Larry Silverstein and several insurance companies arising from the destruction of the World Trade Center.[
In May 2004, while still a member of the judiciary, Judge Mukasey delivered a speech (which he converted into a Wall Street Journal opinion piece) that defended the Patriot Act; the piece also doubted that the FBI engaged in racial profiling of Arabs and criticized the American Library Association for condemning the Patriot Act but not taking a position on librarians imprisoned in Cuba.[11]
Since retiring from the bench, Mukasey has made campaign contributions to Giuliani for president and Joe Lieberman for Senate.[15] Mukasey is also listed on the Giuliani campaign's Justice Advisory Committee.[16]
Mukasey swore in Mayor-elect Giuliani in 1994 and 1998. [6]
Mukasey's son, Marc L. Mukasey,[7] leads the white-collar criminal defense practice in the New York office of Bracewell & Giuliani.[8]
The Mukaseys are justice advisers to Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign.
