It's all Bush's fault!
Couldn't you perhaps spare a bit of disdain for the JUDGE?
MM: If I had wanted to say it was Bush's fault, I would've said it was Bush's fault.
No, I'm saying that my opinion of Gonzales is that he isn't a wonderboy lawyer. IF he wrote the legalese in that EO, he was a slacker, leaving the door open for this judge.
Yes, I DO have great disdain for the judge, but there had already been several tons of disdain for the judge deposited on the thread, so why add mine to it, unless I had a specific point to add?
BTW, I have no idea if AG or HM had anything to do with the EO. It's likely, but I don't know.
Clear?
IP: President Bush signed the EO. How could it possibly have nothing to do with him? Of course it has something to do with him. However, my point had to do with Alberto Gonzales, not his boss. So, your comment is misplaced.
OK, I've had a chance to read the EO in question now (at #157), and it sure looks like it's specific and narrowly drawn, the opposite of vague.
So, if AG or HM contributed to it, IMO they did a good job.
So there!
