Discussion of Political Controversy in Article?[edit]
What is wrong with including this in the article? It has a reference...
"Many speculate that the motives behind Mukasey's sentence for journalist Susan Lindauer to be jailed and drugged in a Texas psychiatric facility had more to do with her knowledge of prewar diplomatic efforts to avoid war, than with her mental state. [1]"
Yeah, and I guess most people probably don't care and don't want to know that this is the guy who gave Larry Silverstein his billions either, so why don't you remove (or should I say "pull") that while you're at it? Nigel Barristoat 23:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you want add information about Lindauer's case, regarding what Mukasey did in the case and how he ruled, that is fine, but lets not "speculate" about the "motives behind Mukasey's sentence." Try reading WP:NOT. — Steven Andrew Miller(talk) 00:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As a point of reference, the Talk page guidelines begin with a bold-font statement that "article talk pages should not be used by editors as platforms for their personal views". —Adavidb 13:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The guidelines' good practice section seems applicable. —Adavidb 13:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Quite right; talk pages are to be used for discussing what should or should not be included in the article. That is exactly all we have done; I have also suggested that the mention of Larry Silverstein that is already in the article right now, be removed ("pulled"?), and I have suggested a reason (i.e. because there is no real "need to know" about this.) You do not even know what my "personal views" about it are (if indeed I have any), because I haven't told anyone what they are. Nigel Barristoat 13:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bold text effectively emphasizes one's personal views. —Adavidb 11:50, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Steven Andrew Miller, and also remind all of us of WP:BIO. Wikipedia articles cannot afford to have even the slightest appearance of defamation about them. Accusing a judge of being biased while on the bench is an extremely serious charge, since if it is true, then the judge could lose not only his judgeship but also his ability to practice as a lawyer. Therefore, such claims must be backed up with extremely good evidence. --M@rēino 20:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Stop editing one another's comments. It adds nothing to the discussion, and you've both managed to break the three revert rule over it. --Haemo 21:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I made a correction to take Kimba Wood out of the info box as Mukasey's successor. It was undone and I had to do it again. To be clear, Kimba Wood (who had problems with hiring illegal immigrants) succeeded him as chief judge for the district. She already was a judge and continues to be one as well. But upon Mukasey's retirement, she also became chief judge for the district. The info box is about Mukasey's seat as a federal judge, not about his role as chief judge.
As the White House website says, Bush nominated a "Richard Sullivan" to replace Mukasey as a judge. [3] I do not know whether or not Sullivan has been confirmed yet or not.
Awbeal 17:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sullivan has not been confirmed. The seat is vacant. — Steven Andrew Miller(talk) 20:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be useful or appropriate to apply values to the 'office2', 'term_start2', etc. fields in the existing Infobox, to show Mukasey's role as Chief Judge? —Adavidb 03:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We need to find the date Mukasey became Chief Judge. Wood apparently became Chief Judge on 01AUG06. — Steven Andrew Miller(talk) 03:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've been unable to find the exact date Mukasey became Chief Judge. If anyone can find that, it would be great. — Steven Andrew Miller(talk) 03:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it makes too much difference as long as there are appropriate redirects, but it's been at the current name from inception and I don't see a need for the move. Newyorkbrad 01:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sort of following the pattern of most common name; e.g., Alberto Gonzales vs. Alberto R. Gonzales and John Roberts vs. John G. Roberts. Just a thought. --MZMcBride 02:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I'm just used to seeing it with the middle initial on opinions and on lists of judges (in "real life" I'm a litigation attorney in Manhattan). No strong opinion either way really. Newyorkbrad 02:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Relation of the U.S. Attorneys controversy to the nomination and nominee[edit]
With this edit, (at 22:55, September 22, 2007 UTC) cited and sourced text was removed that indicated that there already is an active disccussion between Senators, the candidate, and the White house about issues consequent to the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. The edit summary was "Removed section about U.S. Attorneys controversy, not related to Mukasey"
It appears to me the relation has already been established, and already a part of the nomination process, which is the title of the section in question, Nomination as Attorney General. The source article is entitled "Democrats May Tie Confirmation to Gonzales Papers" For clarity I'll outline why it appears to me the issue is related to this biography article, and to that section of the article:
Gonzales's departure had something to do with the vacancy (and consequent nomination of Mukasey), starting with numerous Senators who are on the same committee that will take Mukasey's nomination testimony, telling Gonzales at a hearing about the U.S. attorneys that he had no credibility and should resign.
Documents, responses and testimony by individuals requested by the same Senators have not been produced by the DOJ or White House to the same Senate committee.
The Senators who are members of the committee, as stated in the referenced article, have mixed views about how hard to bargain over requested information in the process of confirming the nomination, and what kind of commitments will be requested from the candidate nominee.
Last, but not least, the nominee himself has responded to aspects of the U.S attorneys issue, with a promise directly related to an important aspect of the controversy.
I invite comment from editors on whether the removed text in question, and more generally the topic of the U.S. attorneys, is related to Mukasy's nomination.
-- Yellowdesk 00:45, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am the editor who removed the text. As I mentioned on Yellowdesk's talk page previously, I do not believe that Mukasey has any connection to the "Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy" at this point in time. This article should be about Mukasey, his personal history, and his history as a judge. Not a matter in which the subject of the article has no connection. If there is some development in the course of the confirmation hearing, such as Mukasey (assuming he is confirmed) appointing an independent counsel to investigate the controversy, then it would be relevant. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and should not speculate about what is or is not going to happen, including reporting other's speculation. — Steven Andrew Miller(talk) 04:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
After reading the source article in full and the outline above, I believe it is premature to tie Mukasey's article to the attorney dismissal controversy. Mukasey met with "key members of both parties," which is common for cabinet nominees. We don't have a transcript of the content of those discussions. The source article says Mukasey will return with answers to various questions, though we don't have those answers. The agreement to ensure top-level response to political inquiries is to avoid future scandals, though doesn't tie Mukasey to the attorney dismissal case directly. —Adavidb 12:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I added a fleeting reference to the scandal in order to provide context for Mukasey's assurance regarding political inquiries. Without any mention of the controversy, the reference is awkward. I agree that devoting a paragraph to the controversy is out-of-proportion, but a brief reference to the scandal sure seems helpful for understanding why Mukasey would make such a concession--because politicians were soliciting U.S. Attorneys for particular results in cases.--Capnpitz 14:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think the current reference is a good compromise. — Steven Andrew Miller(talk) 21:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think both references should be used, so that the significance of having two senators, Shumer and Leahy, reporting the same response/commitment may be supported. -- Yellowdesk 18:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Article Makes No Mention of Mukasey's Actions, If Any, To Fight Illegal Immigration[edit]
In Mukasey's position, he could have -- in a wide variety of ways -- urged that more employers use the database E-Verify to assure that illegal immigrants are not being hired. Mukasey could have urged a greater effort to gain control over the U.S.-Mexico border.

Some context for the hearings process and issues raised are be desirable, especially in light of the visibility of President Bush's interest, and the concerns of Senators whose assent is required for a successful nomination. The actual views of the person under discussion, Mr. Mukasey, and the reasons for the reactions to those views are necessary. Here is the text, with citations that has been the object of a recent edit war:
Leahy and the other nine Democratic committee members had indicated the week before, via letter, to Mukasey that they were "deeply troubled by your refusal to state unequivocally that waterboarding is illegal during your confirmation hearing..."[1]
And I have added approximatley the following:
By holding an unusual Oval Office meeting with journalists on November 1, 2007, Bush signaled his concern that the nomination which was previously judged to be a sure bet, is in peril, primarily over what is and is not considered illegal torture.[2] Mukasey has refused to state an unequivocal legal position on the interrogating techniqe waterboarding, and it appears that he was concerned about the potential pursuit of government employees or agents, and their authorizing superiors in American or foreign courts under criminal charges, when responding to the Senate Judiciary committee questions.[2]
In describing the issue's challenges to the Bush administration, the New York Times quoted Scott L. Silliman, director of the Center on Law, Ethics and National Security at Duke University as saying about such court cases, which could ultimately reach the president: “You would ask not just who carried it out, but who specifically approved it.” Robert M. Chesney, of Wake Forest University School of Law, and other national security specialists have pointed out that prosecution within the United States, would be impeded by laws adopted since 2005 which permit safe-harbor protections to interrogators for governmentally authorized actions. It is believed that secret Justice Department legal opinions approved waterboarding, and other harsh interrogation techniques.[2]

I saw an editor added that Mukasey is a "life long member of AIPAC" to the article, and then gave two links ([5][6]) when asked for a cite from another editor.
The first link is an repost of a Politico.com article (Dems look to grill Mukasey) on Common Dreams. No where in the article are "AIPAC" or "Israel" mentioned, but rather they are only found in the Common Dreams reader comments. The same is true of the second link, a posting from Senator Bernie Sanders on The Huffington Post. Again, neither "AIPAC" nor "Israel" are mentioned anywhere but in the comments. Both of these obviously fail to meet Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline for the purposes of establishing a link between Mukasey and AIPAC. I can not find a reliable sources that links Mukasey to this political group. — Steven Andrew Miller(talk) 02:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see several news accounts verifying the Senate confirmation Thursday, but none of them mentions if he has been sworn in yet. Isn't the office technically vacant until the moment of the swearing in? 70.105.20.208 12:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The section on an eToys controversy includes no mention of Mukasey. It does include mention of an "original whistle-blower", though no source citation regarding such a reference (only an official resume to back up the claim), hinting of potential original research. For these reasons, I've added a synthesis warning. —Adavidb 04:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should have it. Look at the Budd Dwyer article. We have a link for his horrific suicide in the external links section. As long as we put a warning spoiler before the link then I think it is OK. People know what they are clicking on. Besides, a local TV station was fine with showing the Mukasey collapse to their audience so why shouldn't WP do the same? --Tocino 05:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Budd Dwyer is very different because he intended his suicide to be public and the public suicide what he is famous for. Linking to Mukasay's collapse is tabloidish and voyeuristic, and not for a written encyclopedia. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 05:33, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So the station which aired the video is being tabloidish and voyeuristic? You want tabloidish and voyeuristic? Go to the titfuck article where there is a pornographic image proudly displayed. --Tocino 06:27, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Its an article about titfucking so there's a pic of a titfuck. If this were an article about fainting it might make sense to show someone fainting. But this is an article about a living person and one of the most famous jurists in the world. A link to him passing out, especially now that he is ok, is tabloidish and voyeuristic and probably violative of WP:UNDUE, as well. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 06:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not everything and anything has to piled into an article due to WP:NOTCENSORED. It is our job as editors to decide what is noteworthy enough for inclusion into the article and what is not noteworthy enough. If some paparazzi gets vidoe footage of him picking his nose does that also have to be included in the article under WP:NOTCENSORED? --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 14:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the video is needed. --Tom 16:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The BBC is now airing the video [7]. I guess all of these news agencies are "tablodiish and voyeuristic" according to editor Brewcrewer from WP. --Tocino 17:39, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brewcrewer - This contribution has been spammed across multiple (at least 8) articles by an IP who then registered as a new editor. This single purpose account was on a self admitted political crusade to "call out" conservatives[8] who did not support Trump. Multiple editors reverted across those pages, and determined this was not a notable article to include in the affected biographies. It appears that this article was only affected once, but others were impacted multiple times. The L. Brent Bozell III and Dana Loesch articles will show a better history, and the broad support that this was an inappropriate and pointed addition. Scr★pIronIV 19:24, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what IP you are talking about - this is an editor with a username. I have major issues with what you are doing here. You are not being truthful here and in your edit summaries. National Review is a notable publication and his commentary against a fellow Republican sitting President is very notable.
