The U.S. Senate confirmed former federal judge Michael B. Mukasey by a 53-40 vote as the 81st attorney general. Mukasey replaces Alberto Gonzales, who resigned in September (read about the resignation in our blog). Read President Bush's press release about Mukasey's confirmation on the White House web site.
