When a lawyer who finds a legal avenue for shoving someone into a “confinement box”with an insect that person might believe is poisonous thinks you’ve crossed a line — wow. The New York Times:
“„John C. Yoo, the former Justice official whose memorandums on torture and presidential power were used to justify some of the most controversial policies of the Bush administration, said he had not seen the material from Ms. Cheney’s group. But Professor Yoo, who now teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, and is active in the Federalist Society, said the debate about lawyers who once represented detainees at the American prison in Guantánamo Bay serving in the Justice Department was overheated.
“„“What’s the big whoop?” he asked. “The Constitution makes the president the chief law enforcement officer. We had an election. President Obama has softer policies on terror than his predecessor.” He said, “He can and should put people into office who share his views.” Once the American people know who the policy makers are, he said, “they can decide whether they agree with him or not.”
Chances are, when Liz Cheney thinks she needs a civics lesson, Yoo would be the guy she’d call… Dave, how many conservative lawyers have come out against the slander of Justice Department lawyers who represented Guantanamo detaineesnow?
