President Bush has his Michael B. Mukasey, attorney general-designate, to defend his multiple challenges to the Constitution, just as King Henry VIII had his Cardinal Wolsey to defend his nullity suit against Katherine of Aragon.

The attorney general-designate did not quarrel with Mr. Bush's unprecedented assertions of executive privilege to prevent current or former White House officials from testifying before congressional committees investigating crimes or maladministration. Nor did he quarrel with Mr. Bush's concealment of spy programs from Congress and hiding their legal justifications.

In contrast to Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Mr. Mukasey did not endorse government in the sunshine as the best disinfectant. He did not subscribe to James Madison's philosophy that self-government is fatuous unless the people know what their government is doing to adjust their political loyalties accordingly.



I can't take the escuses and the submissions against unconstitutional power. I conclude this system is dead unless people get a clue real QUICKLY. Elections won't solve this problem. You HAVE to reject people who don't support the constitution or the rights granted.
