Ahhh TPM Reader TK

Is it just me, or is President Bush attempting to do what he always accuses liberal judges of doing, but on an international level? He’s taking an international law designed to prevent torture and parsing it to suit his own agenda, namely, torture. Granted, international law is not nearly as codified as our common law, but his ideological disingenuousness comes into full relief when his pro-torture arguments are juxtaposed with how he criticizes judges with whom he disagrees.

Not an originalist.
