I guess it's true what they say. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I don't think Mukasey has a track record quite that good, but in this case, he's spot on! The members of the court who said this woman wouldn't face further persecution should be thrown off the fucking bench.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/09/22/genital.mutiliation.immigrant/index.html?iref=mpstoryviewWASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. attorney general is trying to prevent immigration authorities from sending a Muslim woman to her home country, where she was a victim of female genital mutilation.
In a stinging order overriding federal immigration courts, Mukasey blasted a decision that said a 28-year-old citizen and native of Mali should be expelled "because her genitalia already had been mutilated she had no basis to fear future persecution if returned to her home country."
"Female genital mutilation is not necessarily a one-time event," Mukasey said. He noted that the board in a previous case had granted asylum in to one woman whose "vaginal opening was sewn shut approximately five times after being opened to allow for sexual intercourse and child birth."
