You know, I remember when Ashcroft resigned, that I wondered how exactly the administration was going to find someone worse. It didn't take too long to find out -- they hired a replacement whose biggest qualification had to do with writing memos justifying the use of torture. And this guy has really lived up to that; he's spent the past two years expanding executive power beyond what King George ever claimed, aiding and abetting the administration to evade and ignore the law, lying outright to Congress whenever not under oath, and when under oath telling things which have only the most technical relationship to the truth, and working tirelessly, day in and day out, to dismantle the Constitution and replace it with an unquestionable single-man rule.
A lovely bit of news to start your day

Hmm. I don't know nearly enough about him. I definitely treat local (San Mateo County and San Francisco) politics as a kind of sport I follow, but national politics a bit less so, unfortunately.
