I am so sick of these turkeys screwing up my country and then walking off with the insufferable proud little struts.

Yes.It.Can. Up until now, those OLC “opinions” have carried all they weight they needed to: the President and all his men agreed with them, or they left. The President kept the words out the public domain and avoided formal legal challenge to them in court or Congress. The President has packed our courts with men and women who would NOT challenge them, and persuaded waverers in Congress to lie idle and check the wind.

Those words have done their job, regardless of how reprehensible they may be. Only we and Congress can challenge them. If we don’t, and don’t persuade Congress to do the same, they stand. Or, we could hope that a later administration will not find them useful and publicly discard them. As has been said critically of this President’s hopes for success in Iraq, hope is not a plan.

John Yoo is nothing more than an overly ambitious greedy attorney that hitched his star to the Republican Party and their leader GW Bush. … It seems to have paid off. A professor of law at a major university and a frequent commentor on the “news” shows.

Well, we know the media are corrupt, but why did the UC Berkeley Boalt Hall law school hire him? What’s wrong with them?

there is something about the fact that they photographed and videoed what they did that makes me think of porn.

Clearly someone wanted knowledge of what happened there to get out to a broader audience. Why? What point has been or is being made with that?

Sure beating a few prisoners I could understand but the stuff in the photos suggests a real Pervert.

So, if that was legal behavior, then why were some of the Abu Ghraib ‘offenders’ convicted and jailed?

How hell does a person possessing the demonstrated legal incompetence of John Yoo get a tenured position at a top law school? … , but I have always assumed they have recruitment and tenure committees to screen out the dodos. It boggles the mind.

As to his oath of office when he joined DOJ, as Emily Lepita used to say, ‘nevermind.’

Hey now, you can redefine a word to mean whatever you want it to mean (and no more), but you’d better spell that name Litella, Emily Litella.

Alice! Alice! She’s not here, she went through the looking glass.

Hey, does anyone know if John Yoo has a brother?

A few years ago I ran across this paper which is one in a series on the Unitary Executive Theory that is co-written a Christopher S. Yoo.

I can’t find anything linking the two but it seems pretty curious that two people with the same last name are thinking along seemingly similiar lines (haven’t read the paper yet … no time)

Yoo became, in effect, a torture team of lawyers, freeing the administration from the constraints of all international rules prohibiting abuse.

but this cannot possibly be the case, no team of lawyers can manufacture law in their own image, those findings are not final, they carry no weight what so ever, decisions regarding those memos are all that matters

now we need to make sure decisions regarding those memos go to the correct and responsible in the justice decision

this is an uphill battle, there are roberts and alito at the helm when the final decision is rendered

we might be lost before the fight but the fight needs to be waged

and congress needs to take the lead, congress must do what needs to be done, these despots must not reign victorious

they must not
