It's time to choose right over wrong (Galloway | McClatchy)

[struggle4progress]

By Joseph L. Galloway | McClatchy Newspapers

... Although it violates everything we know and believe about equality under the law, the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, led astray by Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, forced a week’s delay in voting on Eric Holder's nomination to be the new attorney general in a crude attempt to get him to swear that he won’t prosecute anyone from the Bush administration for violating our laws ...

It's the attorney general's sworn duty to uphold the law and pursue criminal violations, wherever they lead. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the President of the United States and those around him are immune to criminal charges ...

Nothing less will suffice. Nothing less will convince the American people that we live in a nation where no man is above the law ...

All that is necessary for evil to triumph, after all, is for good men to do nothing.
