Newly confirmed Attorney General Michael Mukasey will not rein in President Bush, who views himself as having the nearly unchecked executive power of a monarch, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) says.
“Are we just going to have another attorney general that’s just going to kowtow to the king — the president. I’m sorry I get those terms kinda confused here when I’m talking about Bush; I don’t know if he’s king or president,” Harkin told his colleagues from the Senate floor Thursday.
“According to the last attorney general (Bush) was king, and maybe this one believes the same thing, he can do whatever he wants to,” Harkin continued. “But even in 1215, the King of England was held to the standard of habeas corpus. I guess we want to turn the clock back to before the Magna Carta.”
