Does This Explain The DOJ's Heller Brief?

From Legal Times:

"It helps that, since his confirmation in November, Mukasey has been quietly but steadily reaching out to some of his most vocal Senate critics through a series of phone calls and personal meetings. 'He and I talk a lot, get along well . . . and are in contact on a regular basis,' says Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). 'I told him the day he was confirmed that I’d start the clock all over again.' "

Leahy? Hmmmmm . . .
