Mukasey defends lawyers that support torture. Who were those Democrats that sponsored him?

[rhett o rick]

Mukasey says that lawyers doing their part to protect the country in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks should not now be held liable for having done so.

A big thanks a lot for DINO's Schumer and DiFi.

1. Same excuse for everything...telecoms...Condi is currently promoting it the talking point

Different time then...just doing their part...can't be blamed for trying to protect America

[Supersedeas]

7. very strange that Muck Muck would look to Goldsmith--who found the legal work on the Bybee Memo

shoddy.

[Solly Mack]

9. He's trying to further justify the torture and other illegal acts

by bringing Goldsmith in...since Goldsmith is perceived as being a voice of dissent...and the example "Muck-Muck" is using from Goldsmith's book is to illustrate that everyone wanted us to do what we did...

so...not really strange

Besides, Goldsmith himself excused Addington and Gonzales (and the rest ) with the "they thought they were doing the right thing" rationalization

which is part of what "Muck-Muck" is saying...

2. A big thanks to the people here at DU who insisted

That the Dems in Congress knew what they were doing when they confirmed Mukasey.

He's as bad as I feared.

4. Here's a funny one

I was off the airwaves for all of last year and some of this year, and I had no idea that we had a new AG. Then I saw him, and started to read up on him, and JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY! They found someone worse than Gonzales. Worse than Miers. I was aghast.

The guy's filth. How did any Democrat vote for his confirmation? I'm appalled.

Did Gonzales find work yet, I wonder?

[Supersedeas]

6. the overwhelming consensus was that Mukasey was a trainwreck

[PleaseSayItAintSo]

5. I think fondly of Schumer and Feinstein each time I hear Mukasey say

he won't allow DOJ to act on subpoenas from Congress.

Heckuva job Chuck and Dianne!

13. Are there movements to replace these obvious DINO's with true Democrats? nm

[gratuitous]

8. Schumer's rationale for confirming Mukasey

He figured that once confirmed, Mukasey would somehow become magically beholden to the Senate. As Dr. Phil might drawl, "How's that workin' out fer ya, Senator?"

10. What do you mean by 'sponor?'

11. What do you mean by what do I mean? What are your thoughts? nm

12. WHY did any Democrat vote for Muck? That question needs to be answered.

I understand that Congress critters will sometimes vote contrary to my wishes, but there are some votes that so important that I can not overlook them. For example the vote that clearly gave a sociopath authorization to invade a country. The Muck vote falls into that category. I think Schumer and DiFi and others owe the party an explanation.

14. Here are the traitors conspiring against the American people.
