On Sunday, November 4, CODEPINK activists enacted a live waterboarding demonstration for Senator Feinstein as she entered CNN studios in Washington, D.C.

Saturday Senators Dianne Feinstein (CA) and Chuck Schumer (NY) parted from their Democratic party colleagues including the four Democratic candidates for President and instead sided with President Bush by announcing their support for former judge Michael B. Mukasey as United States Attorney General. The votes of Feinstein and Schumer would give Mukasey at least 11 yes votes on the 19 member Judiciary panel, sending his nomination to the full Senate.
In committee hearings, Judge Mukasey claimed ignorance about waterboarding. Obfuscating, he avoided a condemnation of this method of torture. In addition, he would not support granting habeas corpus to detained prisoners at Guantanamo, and suggested the President can ignore surveillance statutes in wartime, signally that his views mesh significantly with the administration's.
