Lieberman as AG?

by: Jay Stevens

Tue Aug 28, 2007 at 13:25:35 PM MST


First it was Michael Chertoff, now it's rumored that Joe Lieberman will be tapped to be Bush's next Attorney General. I agree that a Lieberman nomination would be a brilliant Bush move, and agree with Marjorie Cohn that it basically halt investigations and put the GOP in charge of the Senate.

I'm not sure it will happen though. For one, Lieberman has been a Democrat and a Senator for a long time. Can he display the proper amount of fealty required of a Bush toadie?

BooMan:

...Lieberman is horrible on national security and soft on oversight. But he isn't a total tool. His confirmation hearings would still involve a lot of demands that he cooperate with congressional oversight...something he is not indifferent to. Would Lieberman promise to enforce congressional subpoenas? Would he have the audacity not to promise?

Don't count on anyone high profile, IMHO. Paul Clement?

The forming rules of the Senate (0.00 / 0)
don't allow for a power sharing agreement in the event of a party switch, so Joe leaving would probably have relatively little impact.

In the longer run, it would likely mean a Senator Ned Lamont in 2009 taking the seat.
