Schumer Bought Mukasey's Bridge, Passes Costs To The Constitution

Mr. "I'll follow the laws you pass" Mukasey is already a busy man in his new job. In just his first week as Attorney General, he is recommending to the President that he veto any legislation that does not let telecom companies off the hook for violating the Constitution. Of course Schumer got confidence to vote Mukasey after he said he'd follow laws regarding waterboarding, even though they were already passed and ignored two years ago. Now how does anyone expect to trust Mukasey regarding any law the Congress might try to enact?

From CNN:

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on the eve of crucial committee votes to update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), Mukasey was adamant in opposing Leahy's plan for changing the law.

Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell co-signed the letter released Wednesday night by the Justice Department.

"We strongly oppose the proposed substitute amendment. If the substitute is part of a bill that is presented to the president, we and the president's other senior advisers will recommend that he veto the bill," they said.

We know they are against it, they are against accountability, justice and protecting the Constitution. If they served the people, they'd have to get rid of their boss. Knowing George Bush and anyone who has worked for him, how does anyone think that the Administration would follow any law that is to their detriment. You'd have to be pretty naive to buy that...oh wait, maybe Schumer thinks he owns the bridge that leads towards his fancy Park Slope address.
