More hypocrisy from Ted Kennedy, this time about AG nominee

Posted 01 Nov 2007 in Democrats, hypocrisy, liberals

Ted Kennedy and other Dem are opposing AG nominee Michael Mukasey because he won’t make a public statement declaring “waterboarding” illegal, yet they failed to outlaw it themselves.

President Bush, seeking Thursday to salvage the embattled nomination of Michael Mukasey as attorney general, defended the former judge’s refusal to say whether he considers waterboarding as illegal torture. But the nomination suffered another setback in the Senate.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said that Mukasey’s unwillingness to answer definitively on the legality of the interrogation method that simulates drowning increases chances that it could be used against U.S. troops.

“I therefore intend to oppose this nomination,” Kennedy said in remarks prepared for the Senate floor. “Judge Mukasey appears to be a careful, conscientious and intelligent lawyer, and he has served our country honorably for many years. But those qualities are not enough for this critical position at this critical time.”

Being careful, conscientious and intelligent is not enough to warrant the Attorney General position, apparently one must also shill for the Democrats.
