"Who is the bigger fool, Judge Mukasey...or Senator Schumer...?"

[ProSense]

If what Judge Mukasey told Senator Schumer is true, why can't he say that waterboarding is illegal? If he has pledged to enforce laws that bind the President, why can't he pledge to enforce laws that are already on the books? If he is being honest about his intentions to leave office rather than defend law breaking, why is he accepting a job that will require him to defend the Administration's lawless positions? For if one thing is certain, it is this: Dick Cheney is not likely to change his mind either about Presidential power or about waterboarding.

Which leaves us with this question: Who is the bigger fool, Judge Mukasey for making these representations or Senator Schumer for believing them?

7. Schumer sounded shaky -- I think he knows he's way wrong . . .

Schumer put his foot in it when he recommended Mukasey and he's already been betrayed at the hearings by Muckasey's testimony ---

Mukasey made it obvious --- he'll do Bush's dirty work --- beginning NOW.

Schumer is immensely naive --- evidently he can't see the Cheney/Bush regime has proceeded in a fascistic manner --- ?????

Schumer told us that Mukasey is "head and shoulders" over Gonzales and Ashcroft -- !!!
Both permitted the politicization of the DOJ --
Ashcroft bailed on them after 9/11 . . . I think he was scared.
Gonzales was in so deep, I don't think he had any choice but to continue on.

This is part of my comments to Schumer via his website ....

Torture is not some incidental event, but a process of shock and awe not only directed at its immediate victims, but intended to threaten all American citizens.

Fascism's coming depends perhaps most of all on torture.

The better of evils is no plus for America.

After noting the "desperate and deplorable state of America now" you decide to give this criminal administration a "second chance."
