Tom Harkin Derides "King" George Bush

Tom Harken (D-Iowa) made one of the best and most impassioned speeches about the confirmation of Mukasey and the disregard for the rule of law by Bush that I have ever heard. I only wish there had been Senators in the chamber to hear him. I suspect it was to a mostly empty chamber.

He is so far as to call Bush a “king” and makes the valid point that even the King of England was held to the writ of Habeas Corpus as delineated in the Magna Carta. Watch it on Raw Story, it should make you shudder
