Well That Helps

2:24 pm EST June 17th, 2008 | News | 5 Comments

John Yoo comes out against the Supreme Court decision on Gitmo detainees. Well, that should it make it clear how right the court is. They’re on the opposite side of the issue from Yoo, a certified nutbag who thinks that whatever the president wants the law to be should be the law.

Another moment in the annals of B.S. Conservative Legal Theory.

    Barack’s comments on the decision:

    “And, you know, let’s take the example of Guantanamo. What we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks — for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated.”

    Reality:

    Abdul Rahman Yasin fled the United States after the bombing to Iraq, and lived as Saddam Hussein’s guest in Baghdad until the invasion. He is still free, and wanted by the FBI.

    How does this reality at all bolster the case for either (A) the military skill in fighting terrorism or (B) Bush’s handling of the war against terror?

    Just imagine what John Yoo would do if he had the chance to write a constitution from scratch.

    Preamble:
    This nation exists to preserve its existence.

    Article I:
    The executive can do whatever the heck he wants.

    Article II:
    Anyone who stands in his way is committing treason, a crime punishable by repeated waterboarding and eventually death.
