The old liveblog of Mukasey's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee has fallen off the Recent List before getting recommended. This is a new diary to give the ongoing liveblog a chance to get recommended. Read and post here until further notice.

Continuing from "Liveblog Mothership: Senate Oversight Justice Hearing w/Mukasey Hotlist:
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.
