She can start with Jon Corzine.

Some people whose opinion I respect and who have worked with her, have a lot of confidence in White.

A fine, no nonsense choice. It only took Obama four years to make a nomination I can endorse.

She looks like Moe of the Three Stooges. With no sense of humor, probably.

I thought the Gotti conviction was obtained by the US Atty in Brooklyn. Whatever the case, she has earned respect as a prosecutor. The SEC performs a valuable function in preventing fraud but in the process, imposes a lot of burdens on businesses.

From everything I´ve ever heard, an excellent choice. Maybe the only good choice zero has ever made.

As long as she goes after actual fraud and cheating, I am cool with her. Don´t forget the prosecutors who have gone after people just to advance their careers, when said victims of their attacks had done nothing illegal.

And given that this is coming from Obama, I am very uneasy.

Very selective in her prosecutions it seems. If you´re a union thug or dem, you will likely be safe. Republican financiers should watch their backs, however. Just another partisan hack and Obama flack, I suggest, and, like Elizabeth Warren, a legal gun for hire when a buck is to be made.

The government is quite good when going after ´organized crime´.

They do not brook any competition when it comes to organized crime.

I understand that going to law school makes people good at acting ugly, but....how is it possible that it seems to make people LOOK so small and ugly ????

And look at how well she handled the MArc Rich pardon ivestigation.......why people are still in jail over that one..........oh, wait a minute, no one was EVER held accountable for that.

Very simple: If a democrat is proposed/elected/nominated/elevated by democrats, they are dangerous to the Republic.

I´ll bet a million billion trillion skillion bazillion dollars you never hear the name ´Corzine´ outa her.

She looks like a former nun, just sayin´.

I have no hope for anyone attached to this regime.

#11-she´s married to wealthy lawyer and was a wealthy lawyer herself.

She was nominated by Obama! Does anyone really think she is going to get to the bottom of anything?? She might hound a few Wall St fatcat`s but beyond that forget it.

Another `tough as nails` govn hack padding her retirement account.

Sorry to post again on this thread. I do not know Mary Jo White, but I do know a few things about her. She and her husband have lots of money between them. She does not need to pad a retirement account that is probably already huge (and probably well-sheltered from taxes). And why do we really care what she does at the SEC? The SEC goes after civil violations. Madoff would be a free man if it were just up to the SEC. It´s still the US attorney´s job to prosecute crimes. She may do more to implicate Dodd Frank but so would anyone Obama appointed. She´s probably not a bad choice--she is certainly familiar with the corporate world, since she and her husband have spent most of their lives, and made most of their wealth, representing corporate clients.

#10 is on it! Known as Mary Jo Molasses, she never gets around to jailing D´rats. W, for reasons known only himsel and Boy Rove put her in charge of investigating the Criminal Clintons for the "Pay for Pardons"
scheme. Some will remember De Knees Rich giving $400,000 to the Clinton Library. And Slick pardoned her husband who was convicted of tax fraud and owed $100 million. Molasses White said ...move on!
