Everyone is talking about Mukasey colllapsing after delivering this speech to "the federalist society", what they don’t report is the actual speech and it is alarming.(The mere fact that he was addressing the federalist society in the first place is alarming I might add)

For those of you who didn’t know, the federalists are a group of people who embrace laws they see in the constitution they like and ignore laws and principles clearly written in the constitution which they don’t like.

The federalists were discredited when the constitution was written yet they survive today and in today’s corporate media they are given some kind of reverance as if their interpretation is historically correct. (it’s not)

Here is a snippet from our attorney generals’s speech;

Perhaps of most obvious interest to the members of the Federalist Society are the judges and justices whom the President has appointed to the federal bench. As the President recently explained to the Cincinnati chapter of this Society, he has sought out, as he put it, "judges who would faithfully interpret the Constitution – and not use the courts to invent laws or dictate social policy." With the help of many in this room, the President has succeeded in this effort and appointed many well-qualified and accomplished judges who understand their role in interpreting — not writing — the laws.

Most notably, the President has appointed two members of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. These men are no strangers to the people in this room — indeed, they both spoke to this Society last year. Both of these remarkably accomplished justices will continue to serve the Nation for many years to come, and we are grateful not only for their service, but also for their approach to the difficult questions of constitutional law and statutory interpretation that the Court faces each term. The President is rightfully proud of his selection of both of these men, and the Federalist Society should be proud of the role it played in supporting their nominations.
The President also has nominated – and the Senate has confirmed – many other well-qualified judges throughout the Federal courts. Unfortunately, still other good and well-qualified people were denied the same opportunity. We have seen the nominations of skilled, experienced, and well-respected candidates delayed or frustrated through procedural tactics. Quite frequently, it has been hard for these nominees to receive a vote in the Senate or even a hearing before the Judiciary Committee. For those who never received a vote, or even a hearing, I offer my profound regret — you deserved better.
Tonight, however, we should take note of our successes. Indeed, this Administration’s judicial legacy includes 61 judges appointed to the courts of appeals and 261 judges appointed to the district courts. The President and the members of his Administration will leave office in January, but these good judges will remain in place, many for decades to come.
The Federalist Society should be proud of the role it played in supporting these judges, but it also should be proud of the basis on which it did so. As the members of this Society recognize, the core meaning of judicial independence is independence from the political pressures and fashions of the moment. Otherwise, judges become simply politicians who are independent only in the sense that they have life tenure and so are not subject to the discipline of the political process — namely, elections. Although judges are appointed through a political process, once they take the oath, they are confined to exercising a power that is, under Article III, judicial only. Which is to say, one that should involve a faithful, not a fanciful, reading of the laws and the Constitution.

That is what our children are going to have to face, judges who believe the federalist’s discredited world view.

We’ve seen Alito for instance, decide on the defense’s position when the defense is a corporation and then in exactly where the accuser is the corporation deciding again for the corporation.

The name of their society would be more accurate if they used "the robber baron society".

Now this is interesting;

First Mukasey speaks about defending the written principles of the constitution as they are lawm then he brings up 9/11 and actually brags about the things the adminstration did that violate the constitution.

Have a read of the entire speech.

Do not forget, a majority of democrats had to approve this man for him to have this position
