Pissed_Off_Patricia on CAFTA (blondensense):

The votes had nothing to do with what was best for our country, they were about favors like fundraising appearances by Cheney. Gives you a queasy feeling in your stomach, doesn’t it?

DCeiver on why Supreme Court nominee John Roberts membership in the Federalist Society is not unlike membership in the Communist Party:

Nine times out of ten, you’d have to be a fucking imbecile to take their ideas seriously.

Marty Lederman on JAG memos arguing against the use of torture (Balkinization):

It is fair to say that these accounts reflected sustained, uniform and passionate opposition to the OLC legal theories that were being foisted upon the military. Indeed, the tone of the memos is one of barely concealed incredulity, and outrage—disbelief—that a young legal academic from DOJ could sweep right in and so quickly overturn decades of carefully wrought military policy, using legal analysis that almost certainly would not withstand scrutiny outside the Administration and around the world.

Alex on Bush’s no-show with the Boy Scouts of America (Martini Republic):

No word yet on whether Bush blew off the Boy Scouts because he was reading The Pet Goat, riding his trike, or flipping off the press.
