KENNEDY ON MUKASEY NOMINATION

Today, Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement in response to President Bush's nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey for the Attorney General of the United States.

"The Department of Justice has been badly damaged by this Administration's disregard of the rule of law and its injection of partisanship into law enforcement. The next Attorney General will have to be an independent and incorruptible lawyer, a strong leader and a skilled manager to begin to right the ship. I look forward to the confirmation process to learn whether Judge Mukasey is that person."
