HRC should filibuster Mukasey for AG

[Hawkowl]

I am a big critic of Hillary for her equivocations. She could wipe away all such "double talk" criticisms by filibustering Mukasey.

I believe she would have the nomination wrapped up by demonstrating such leadership. The sad thing is, it is such an easy, morally compelling action to take.

"HILLARY WILL NOT STAND FOR TORTURE!" Could be the headline. By demonstrating she can lead now and stop the bush administration in its tracks NOW, she would give a clear indication to the party and the nation where she is going to go in the future.

Bush has suffered two reversals this week alone. First the first veto over ride. Second, Kucinich's articles of impeachment has made it to the judiciary committee. By seizing the initiative now, she could actually capitalize on this nascent momentum and draw a clear distinction between our lackluster, so nothing leaders Pelosi & Reid.

Unfortunately, I think her strategy as front runner (for the nomination) is simply not to make waves, sit on her hands, and run out the clock. A recipe for disaster.

(I should add I think this strategy would work for Obama as well.)

1. Since Obama loves to sit on the fence in these big telling votes

don't you think HE should be the one to finally take a stand.
