Bottom line: if you wanted to appoint some token, loud-mouth, rule-of-law-extremist progressive to placate critics, and you had no intention of listening to what she said, the last place you would put her is as OLC head. -- Glenn
But, can a token LMROLE progressive lodged in OLC do anything to move ahead an agenda of truth-seeking with regard to the illegalities of the Bush administration?
I don't have a good grasp of the extent of what her authority would be, but that doesn't seem to fall in the purview as I understand it.
I think that many, including Johnsen, have called for Bush era OLC opinions to be reviewed and for those without proper legal foundation to be withdrawn by the Attorney General. She seems quite ready to take on that task. -- Jim White
Can she do this (I hope so with all my heart)?
