My Take
Mukasey's arc fascinates me: from the Bronx to Columbia, Yale Law, the federal bench in Manhattan, and finally the 81st U.S. Attorney General. I am drawn to the unshowy nature of his core work. A trial judge's chair sits near real power yet trades spectacle for reasoning, conscience, and patience. What I find telling is that he studied history before law; people who understand the past tend to weigh present decisions more carefully. Whatever one makes of his tenure at the top, the climb itself is a serious one, and I respect a career built on argument rather than applause.
