Reply #9: Oppose Mukasey: No Waterboarding, No Dictatorship

[BLUSH]

I urge you to oppose the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey for Attorney General of the United States.

In his sworn testimony before the Senate, Judge Mukasey refused to acknowledge that waterboarding is torture, even though it was used for torture by the Spanish Inquisition, the Japanese in World War II, and Cambodia's Khmer Rouge.

Mukasey also insists the President can ignore the law to wiretap American citizens without a warrant.

Mukasey has thus proven his contempt for the Geneva Conventions, the Rule of Law, and the Constitution itself.

If you do not oppose Judge Mukasey, you will become complicit in the Bush-Cheney policies of waterboarding and warrantless wiretapping, and thereby violate your sworn oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
