I'm all for chaos and disorder

It appears that Bush has chosen Michael B. Mukasey, a retired federal judge from New York, to replace Alberto Gonzales as attorney general. This amused me:
Bush supporters say Mukasey, who was chief judge of the high-profile courthouse in Manhattan for six years, has impeccable credentials, is a strong, law-and-order jurist, especially on national security issues, and will restore confidence in the Justice Department.
"law-and-order jurist"? As opposed to what?
