The Bar

By the way, if anyone's wondering what my test is for supporting for re-election a Democrat currently serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee, including, especially including, my own Senator Patrick Leahy, it's the following: I'd need to see those Senators, individually or in a group, call a press conference and say, with regard to the Alberto Gonzales nomination to Attorney General:

"We're not going to vote to confirm for Attorney General any fucker who supports torture. And, furthermore, we regard any of our colleagues, Democratic or Republican, who do vote to confirm the appointment of Alberto Gonzales, as torture-supporting fuckers."

I mean, just in case anyone was wondering.
