... that doesn't mean I think he walks on water. What I voted for (and worked the polls for, and fundraised for...) was first and formost his judgment, as well as his maturity and principled consistency. Like any human being, he will make some mistakes, and the people he appoints may not turn out the way he hoped. He picked Holder because, Rich pardon aside, Holder holds similar views about all the most important Constitutional issues of our time. I do not doubt that Obama and Holder will do all they can to restore limits on domestic surveillance and end the horrors of rendition, torture and Guantanamo. Their most fundamental principles and beliefs require it.
