Today I'm on Bloggingheads TV with Bruce Fein, who has some choice words for Cass Sunstein -- Obama's adviser on FISA -- who told Glenn Greenwald that the Bush Administration wasn't breaking the law, they simply had a different interpretation of it, and to prosecute them would amount to the "criminalization of politics." (Glenn proceeded to refute this contention in their debate on Democracy Now ,...

So, the Democrats got a good chunk of change directly from AT&T in the same year as the FISA bill finally goes through. Even if this wasn’t a quid pro quo, it stinks. They shouldn’t have had a telecom sponsor this year. Now, don’t mind me as I go buy an iPhone for my [...]

As Glenn Greenwald explains it , the Attorney General does not work for the president of the United States. The Attorney General's interests must first and foremost be those of the citizens of the United States. And yet, we have a former AG (Gonzalez) referring to Bush as his client, and having it explained that the current AG believes that is the correct relationship, too. We also have a White House...

Glenn Greenwald has a good column, which begins: Former Reagan DOJ official, constitutional lawyer, and hard-core conservative Bruce Fein was one of the first prominent Americans to call for George Bush’s impeachment in the wake of the illegal NSA spying scandal. Back in late 2005 and 2006, when even safe-seat Democrats like Chuck Schumer were petrified [...]

From the column: … The August 4, 2004 CIA memo (.pdf) specifically noted that “the waterboard” (sic) is not “torture,” and it further points out that the President ordered that the Geneva Conventions are not always to be complied with, but rather, only “to the [...]
