Attorney General Nominee Argued For Dismissal Of An Obscenity Case
 

Read about it on my siteA ?dial-a-porn? service and the New York Daily News are among companies Michael Mukasey, President Bush?s choice for attorney general, has listed as former legal clients in documents turned over to senators who will decide whether to confirm him.Responding to questions posed by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the former federal judge said he also quit a private club that refused to admit women.

The 50-page document, a routine form filled out by presidential nominees, was released Tuesday by the committee. No date has been set for Mukasey?s confirmation hearings.

Mukasey, who served as a federal judge from 1988 to 2006, listed the pornography and Daily News cases as two of the 10 ?most significant litigated matters? in which he had been involved while in private practice.

In the document, Mukasey said he was part of the defense team for a dial-up porn service against charges of interstate transportation of obscene materials. The case was litigated in 1987, before he was appointed to the federal bench.

?I directed the strategy and legal research, drafted major portions of the papers and gave the principal argument in support of the motion to dismiss the indictment,? Mukasey wrote.

Wath how quick our "friends" the democrats exploit this in his confirmation hearings, and watch how fast he will back pedal on it

Please stop blaming democratic you know well , the republicans have done much more harm to our industry,its not even close. Did you vote for W and feel remorse?

you know better than that I voted for the only party that doesnt want to put us outta biz

Libertarian.

Well you keep blaming democratics, if it wasnt for the clinton years and Janet Reno.Who felt going after adult porn was a waste of resources,you would still be working for NASA. lol

As much as I support the Libertarian Party right now it is still a wasted vote that takes away a vote that a Democratic candidate probably would've received, and they are still the lesser of two evils...

R's suck ass

I did likewise:-))

dave

if everyone that said this oft repeated horseshit voted libertarian wed have a libertarian president

grow a pair

BTW This time Im pulling for a republican.....Ron Paul to be exact

I will be voting for Ron Paul in the Republican primaries as well, and I sympathize with the Libertarian Party on most of its major issues, but the next pres will be either Hillary or Giuli McRompson. I hope I don't have to, but if the race is close in my state, I'll pull for Hillary. Like it or not, the Dems are much better for us, especially in the White House. The president appoints the Attorney General and names judges to the federal courts, and the judiciary is the only branch of government that gives a snail's booger about us (but even then, only when it's populated by first amendment purists, which seem to get appointed mainly by Democrat presidents).
