[LSK]

What kind of sick fucking piece of trash is he?

1. I think you have answered your own question

He's a sick fucking piece of trash.

2. Cornyn is a disgrace to the bench, to the bar and the human race.

He used to be a civil district judge in Houston. And he had the nerve to threaten judges that didn't rule "the right way".... :grr:

[MadMaddie]

3. Yes! That's exactly it!

He want's Holder to obligate himself not to prosecute torturers.

Ummm..Coryny is an idiot because now we know there are an unknown number of tortureres out there and now Holder is obligated to find him...

Ha...ha..ha.. thanks Cornyn you dumb ass..

[FiveGoodMen]

4. The kind we should tell the world about!

Everyone needs to know that Cornyn and his party sought, carried out, and covered up torture and now they want to keep that info out of the light of day.

Come on Washington Dems, tell the world!

5. What do you expect from a Texan?

High minded ideals about criminal justice and human rights?

[KeepItReal]

6. I think it is to give them some time to pull a Hail Mary to somehow discredit Holder

<eom>

[rusty quoin]

7. Corn-hole

[LakeSamish706]

8. Yep, he does not want the rule of law upheld that Holder is committed to.. n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Pretty much ..... yup.

[bdamomma]

10. well on Keith's show he mentioned that the UN can independently

go after Bush and Rummy on War Crimes. I hope they do. Arlen Specter is being a jerk.

11. what the Senate needs to do is let him get up there and filibuster. None of

this "hold" business. Let him stand before the cameras and continually make the case against torture prosecutions. Let all the world see for as long as he can talk.

12. a public official interfering with a potential criminal investigation.interesting

i think someone needs to tell him that his state is going to be on the shit list...oh wait democrats do`t do that.

13. They are called, "Republicans."
