This is an e-mail my dad, a registered Republican, sent to Dianne Feinstein:
Dear Senator Feinstein,
I heard today that you have taken the position of supporting Michael Mukasey's nomination for Attorney General in spite of his unwillingness to declare "water boarding" unconstitutional. I hope you will reconsider your position. It could be politically suicidal.
In my opinion, we have no need for an Attorney General who will continue to support the Bush Administration's shredding of the constitutional rights of Americans. Having stood duty in Operation Big Switch in Korea, I am aware that our standards for the treatment of prisoners, along with other signatories of the Geneva Conventions, is higher than those of nations with little desire to follow a moral code. I urge you to vote only for a candidate who is both less evasive than Alberto Gonzales and more committed to the independence of the Department of Justice than the present candidate has shown himself to be in his appearance before the Senate.
