This doctrine of ever-expanding executive power over the ability of Congress to make laws has to stop.
-Senator Russ Feingold
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Senator Russ Feingold says he’ll vote against Michael Mukasey’s nomination for attorney general.
The Wisconsin Democrat said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he thinks Mukasey’s views on executive power have shifted toward the more expansive views of presidential power that the Bush administration has advanced.
Feingold says he doesn’t want to endorse those views with his vote.
