    This is why "Bipartisanship" is the last thing we need now

    To those who would not have us prosecute crimes committed by this administration in the interest of "bipartisanship": Spend 7 years in a cage, isolated, with the lights on 24/7. Then come back and tell us if you don't want to prosecute the bastards who did this.

    Bipartisanship: The means by which the Right has made us all accomplices in their vile crimes.

    Bipartisanship: The means the Right will use to perpetuate these crimes and to block their redress.

    I'll believe that Change Is Here when high government officials go to jail over this.
