"The department faces challenges vastly different from those it faced when I was an assistant U.S. attorney 35 years ago. But the principles that guide the department remain the same," Mukasey said. "To pursue justice by enforcing the law, with unswerving fidelity to the Constitution." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — who last week effectively killed the nomination of former Bush administration Solicitor General Theodore Olson — issued a statement indicating that Senate Democrats will be receptive to Mukasey. "I’m glad President Bush listened to Congress and put aside his plan to replace Alberto Gonzales with another partisan administration insider. Judge Mukasey has strong professional credentials and a reputation for independence," Reid said. "A man who spent 18 years on the federal bench surely understands the importance of checks and balances and knows how to say no to the President when he oversteps the Constitution."
