Welcome to Tyranny

Mind you, this comes from the highest law enforcement official in our nation, who also seems to forget that we have three branches of government, one of which--the judiciary--is to ensure that our rights are preserved. But Alberto "Tortureboy" Gonzalez must have been snorting coke with Chimpie that day in law school.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who is defending President Bush's anti-terrorism tactics in multiple court battles, said Friday that federal judges should not substitute their personal views for the president's judgments in wartime.

You see, Tortureboy doesn't believe that judges should participate in judicial processes if it contradicts a mad-as-a-hatter and dumb-as-a-rock president.

"Judges must resist the temptation to supplement those tools based on their own personal views about the wisdom of the policies under review," Gonzales said.

Even judges aren't exempt from little waterboarding.

Welcome to Amerikkka. James Madison was too prescient.
