Retired federal judge Michael B. Mukasey is the nominee to replace disgraced former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and the choice appears wise, as Mukasey is not seen as partisan, and raised no immediate objections.
As chief judge of the busy U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Mukasey had presided over high-profile terrorism cases. If approved by the Senate, Mukasey would take charge of a Justice Department where morale is low following months of investigations into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys and Gonzales' sworn testimony on the Bush administration's terrorist surveillance program.

After Ashcroft and Gonzales, if Mukasey died immediately after being confirmed, he'd still have done a better job.
