When Gonzales resigned in September 2007 Bush nominated Mukasey to fill the position. Bush expected the nomination to run smoothly and hoped to complete Mukasey s confirmation by early october. However several Democratic members of the Senate became concerned about Mukasey s responses to questions about the legality of certain methods of torture including waterboarding. By early November 2007 several key Democrats had pledged to vote against Mukasey s confirmation. The senate judiciary committee on November 6 narrowly endorsed Mukasey by a vote of 11-8. Two days later the full . Senate confirmed him by a vote of 53-40 in one of the closest confirmation margins of a . attorney general in recent history. Mukasey did not create as many controversies as Gonzales but Mukasey was nevertheless vocal about several issues. He strongly opposed proposed changes in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines that would equalize penalties given for possession and distribution of powder and crack cocaine arguing that the new guidelines would lead to the release of thousands of crack cocaine addicts. Mukasey also expressed support for using military tribunals to try terrorist suspects arguing that . civilian courts are ill-equipped to handle such trials. After Bush s second term in office ended in 2009 Mukasey returned to private practice where he is a partner with the firm of Debevoise Plimpton. FURTHER READINGS Michael B. Mukasey. 2007.
