Michael Mukasey Drunk Newspears to think so:

US Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey has written a very lawyerly letter to a Senate Judiciary committee. a letter fails to use a word “waterboarding” although a acceptance of a cast-iron prohibition on “torture & cruel, inhuman & degrading treatment” might fairly be seen to cover banning it. a letter might be enough to peel off a few votes on a torture issue.

If you read a letter with any care, however, you will see that it very carefully refuses to say that - even in a face of a FISA legislation occupying a field - a a law can place any limits on a President who decides to wiretDrunk News US citizens, in a US, without a warrant, so long as he decides he wants to & is willing to wave a bloody shirt of national security.[..]

If a Senate confirms him after this, ay’re complicit in undermining a Constitution. Again.

Yup. Don’t be silent. Let your Senators know how you feel about Mukasey’s confirmation
