33. There is no defense!
What's worse than condoning torture?

Mukasey, Gonzales, Bork, no difference.

They will all uphold Bush/Cheney/Addington's torture policy.

Feinstein and Schumer should have rejected Mukasey based on this single statement (which makes no sense) by Schumer:

Under this administration, that nominee will certainly never share our views on issues like torture and wiretapping.


What they did, however, is give Bush cover from making a recess appointment that would obviously continue to show that Bush believes he is above the law and that everyone in his administration condones torture.

Although Bush said that if Mukasey wasn't confirmed, there would be no AG, he would most likely have recess appointed Mukasey as he did Foxie. The thing any recess appointment would spark controversy. Mukasey, Gonzales, Bork, there is no difference.
