Chuck, DiFi: Nice work. You normalized torture. I'm proud of you!
Bush nominee passes "torture test"
Two leading Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Schumer of New York and Dianne Feinstein of California, dropped objections to Mr Mukasey's nomination, apparently after a closed-door meeting in which he promised to uphold any future law passed by Congress explicitly defining one method, called water-boarding, as torture [Of course, waterboarding is already defined as torture.]
Good God. What have we come to? A nominee for the nation's chief law enforcement office promises to uphold the law, and this is news?
