THAT DAMN SCHUMER OP-ED

Chuck Schumer:

I understand and respect my colleagues who believe that Judge Mukasey's view on torture should trump all other considerations. For the Senate to make a bold declaration about torture and waterboarding by rejecting him is appealing. But if we block Judge Mukasey's nomination and then learn in six months that waterboarding has continued unabated, that victory will seem much less valuable.

But if you confirm Judge Mukasey and then learn in six months that waterboarding has continued unabated, you'll feel just fine?
