Letters to the Editor

Obama's impressive new OLC chief A law professor with a history of strident condemnation of Bush radicalism is named to one of the most important positions in the executive branch. Glenn Greenwald [2009-01-05]

• Thank goodness for blockquotes

  Glenn,

  This is just tremendous news. And thank goodness for the blockquote feature; otherwise, I would be hard-pressed to distinguish Johnsen's writing from yours. If Johnsen is allowed to follow through on her outrage and to ferret out the groundwork for the Bush regime's criminal actions, our government, and the world, will be much better off. If prosecutions follow, then it will be time to celebrate restoration of the rule of law.

  Gosh, an OLC head who publishes outrage in Slate! Could it be that she's one us? [By us, I mean those of us who hang out at UT as one of the last bastions of the rule of law and the power of the Constitution.]
