huh?

"When it drops past Robert's event horizon, we will be challanged to prove something like this ever happened." Uhhh...well, admittedly, my event horizon can get pretty small at times, at other times it expands way out there. Must be one of those quantum thingies.

But trust me on this: I don't forget outrageous stuff like that. Mukasey's essentially saying that the law means whatever he, or the White House lawyers, say it means. He's promulgating the "remarkable" legal doctrine that a legal brief written by, for example, a lapdog political hack like Harriet Myers, trumps the law. Just like Bush's signing statements, a Bush Administration lawyer can write out a free pass for anyone breaking the law on their behalf.

It stinks.
