I am a constituent and Democratic County Committee Member in Tompkins County. I am writing to urge you to vote NO on the Mukasey nomination.
Anyone who cannot understand that the rule of law depends on having everyone, including the President, obey the law is not fit to be Attorney General and will obviously not be working to defend the Constitution. Add to that the fact that he cannot bring himself to see that waterboarding, first used as a torture method in the Spanish Inquisition, is in fact torture and we have a nomination that is a disgrace to the country and anyone who votes for it.
That includes you. Much though I have liked you in the past, there are times when you really need to put politics aside and ask yourself "Would I want my own child waterboarded? What would I think of a government that would do that to MY child regardless of what crime they committed?"
Every human being is someone's child Mr. Schumer. You seem to be in danger of forgetting that.
