Taking a stand

Compliments to Sen. Tim Johnson for voting against Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General. Of course, Sen. John “Independent Voice” Thune voted in favor of Gonzales. Yes, it sends a wonderful message when the nation’s new chief law enforcement officer helped create the concept of “enemy combatants” with no due process rights, said we could ignore the Geneva Convention at Gitmo and helped craft a policy that allows torture as long as you alone are allowed to determine the definition of torture.
