I'm sorry, I threw up a little in my throat.... The problem, I think, is that Gonzales forgot what "law" meant. He interpreted it to mean "I'm laying down the law" so whatever he said met his criteria, whether, of course, it was consistent with either constitutional principles or the actual statutes passed by Congress. Another issue, of course, is that the term "right" has too many meanings. When he says
Quote
To do the right thing. And I have every confidence that Mike Mukasey will do the right thing. Always do the right thing.
He is not using the term under the following definitions:
Quote
1: righteous, upright
2: being in accordance with what is just, good, or proper <right conduct>
3: conforming to facts or truth : correct <the right answer>
4: suitable, appropriate <the right man for the job>
5: straight <a right line>6: genuine, real
Rather, he means
Quote
12: most favorable or desired : preferable; also : socially acceptable <knew all the right people>
13 often capitalized : of, adhering to, or constituted by the Right especially in politics
In that sense, he is, of course, right. wink

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
