I respect Cass Sunstein a great deal, but this statement by the Chicago law prof is just objectively wrong:
“The Clinton impeachment was plainly unconstitutional, and a Bush impeachment would be nearly as bad,” said Cass R. Sunstein, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago. “There is a very good argument that the president had it wrong on WMD in Iraq but that he was acting in complete good faith.”
“[C]omplete good faith?” Anyone want to send him a copy of ATPS? There’s about 100 pages of evidence that that isn’t a “very good argument.”
Update 3/26 8:58 AM: As SomeCallMeTim points out in comments, this statement of Sunstein’s is also terrible legal reasoning:
Sunstein argues that Bush’s decision to conduct surveillance of Americans without court approval flowed from Congress’s vote to allow an armed struggle against al-Qaeda. “If you can kill them, why can’t you spy on them?” Sunstein said, adding that this is a minority view.
