“Bush, Defending Justice Nominee, Sees Unfairness” – Front Page – November 2, 2007
George W. Bush sees unfairness? It is incredible that every single time this President does not get what he wants he plays the terror card! What is truly terrifying is that, up to now it has worked like a charm for Mr. Bush. The Democrats cower in fear that they will be seen as weak on terror, and have allowed Mr. Bush to run roughshod over them in every case.
Justice Mukasey is probably the most qualified candidate for Attorney General the Bush administration has yet come up with. The problem is that because Mr. Bush broke the law by allowing prisoners and detainees to be tortured, Mr. Mukasey can not come out and say that he believes water-boarding and other obvious methods of torture are against the law, because it would put the President in an untenable situation. Mr. Bush is between a rock and a hard place. He must defend his nominee, but by keeping him quiet on the issue of torture he may be giving the Senate Judiciary Committee the backbone they need to deny Mr. Mukasey’s confirmation.
