Attorney General Mukasey was roughly twenty minutes into a speech defending the administration's torture policies and particularly arguing against prosecutions of people who made decisions in the aftermath of 9/11 (essentially arguing against what he believed amounted to the criminalization of policy differences).Conservatives often speak of bringing God more in American public life. That might have been the hand of God right there.
I'm married with two daughters and have been teaching political science in a red state for 19 years. My blogging covers a lot of issues but I'm a progressive kind of guy who tends to focus on political process, conservatism, and religiosity. Living in the Bible Belt gives me a little different though not necessarily more friendly perspective on conservatism. I also get in the occasional sports post.

Mukasey and The Hand of God? I hope Attorney General Michael Mukasey recovers from whatever caused him to collapse last night. But I can't help but notice that Mukasey collapsed while mounting an argument that Bush administration officials should not be prosecuted for their culpability in torture.
