This is a brilliant, and long overdue assessment of what has happened to American government.

By most accounts, John Yoo is, in person, a really sweet, nice guy.
I hope the judges take that into account when he is finally hauled before an International Criminal Tribunal, somewhere outside US borders.
One hopes Boalt Hall will use his vacated faculty slot more wisely.

I want to see where Yoo took the bar exam and what his score was.

Don't lawyers have an ethical obligation that when they give their client legal advice it's based on, you know, the law?

Ethical? Ethics as a limitation? In the Bush administration? I think having ethics disqualifies an attorney from working for the Bushies...

You're probably right. But it shouldn't excuse them from giving advice that is blatantly illegal.
