Yet, the defeated country saves Her all! How so? ********** [100847:061809] R.T., Brooklyn, NY What happened with this confirmation? IAM SO SICK OF THE SENATE jamming Obama up- one would think that you all were some Mullahs in Iran!!! ********** [112301:060409] B.L., Wellston, OH Confirm Dawn Johnson for office of legal council , lets have real integrity for a change ********** [085205:053009] J.K., Lafayette, CO This woman seems very well qualified. I think opposing torture and all the other terrible crimes of the Bush administration shows she is quality person with high moral standards. I believe Republicans are BRAIN WASHING themselves and others into some Very Wierd thinking. ********** [072908:052109] G.K., Mattapan, MA Isn't it high time we got on with the work of government? ********** [190233:051909] J.M., Diberville, MS How About A Person With Real Integrity In the OLC For A Change? When Dawn Johnsen appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republicans were petrified that if confirmed she would release the torture memos, petrified because she had been so outspoken about the outrageous abuses of and disrespect for law in the Bush administration, and in the very office (Office of Legal Counsel) for which she is now nominated. But of course, the torture memos have now been released, and they are just as horrifying as we knew they would be. This underlines the reason all the more that we need a courageous and outspoken leader like Dawn Johnsen to set American back on the path of the world's moral authority. The New York times endorsement of her described her as superbly qualified. Dawn Johnsen must be confirmed immediately. ********** [233820:051009] m.h., Inkster, MI Since someone who torturers or advocates the use of torture is not worthy to represent the interests of our people, I must demand that you confirm someone into office to represent our interests who has taken a critical stand against torture. We need such an individual to put us back on track towards being internationally respected. We need a watchdog who will make sure we do not do it ever again. ********** [154641:050709] m.L., Portland, OR Confirm Dawn Johnsen to the Office of Legal Counsel to bring a law enforcer into play. She will be a breath of fresh air in a soggy fetid dungeon. Thank You Marilyn Lamb ********** [094221:050709] S.N., Simpson, IL It is long past time to prosecute torture. Torture is not just illegal and immoral it's Un-American. Not only should the Bush Administration be investigated and put on trial, but so should the leadership of the Democratic party, if they were told about torture. Madam Speaker this means you. Senator Rockefeller Congresswoman Harman you too. Senate majority leader either Reid or Dashel depending on the timing of the notice to party leaders. Time to return to the rule of law, time to quit spying on Americans without a warrant, time to return to that most sacred of documents, the Constitution of the United States. ********** [045632:050609] M.W., Chicago, IL Please listen to the people. ********** [115859:050509] S.O., Overland Park, KS Please confirm her. ********** [075710:050509] R.B., Morrisville, PA I am very glad that the memos on torture were released to the public. It is a shameful act on the part of our government which needs to be acknowledged as wrong! ********** [180430:050409] E.B., Seattle, WA It is important to keep the pressure on for confirmation of Dawn Johnsen for Office of Legal Counsel. She had the courage and integrity to speak out against the torture policies for the outrages they were WHEN they were coming down. She is exactly the kind of moral leader we need in the Office of Legal Counsel, a stark contrast to the immoral creeps who hid under rocks there during the Bush administration. And she needs all the support we can give her. ********** [073658:050409] P.L., Pittsburgh, PA Please confirm Dawn Johnson for Office of Legal Counsel and allow Ms Johnson to lead our country as one which exemplifies integrity and justice for all. ********** [063327:050209] r.c., Niceville, FL Dawn Johnsen must be confirmed to the position Office of Legal Council, so that this country can get to the business of restoring it's moral integrity. Too many laws have been neglected and abused for too long. ********** [104112:050109] m.L., Portland, OR Republicans should be men and take their medicine. A Coward dies a thousand times. We are all suffering from their delays of justice. Dawn Johnsen will help them become the men we all wish they were. We need her in the Office of Legal Counsel. Marilyn Lamb ********** [152012:042909] C.A., Batavia, IL Cheri Anderson-Albert ********** [140912:042909] G.F., Red Wing, MN Ms. Klobuchar, Please support and advocate for the confirmation of Ms. Dawn Johnsen for Office of Legal Counsel. Her past statements/opinions and legal reasonings on the important issues of the day: advocacy of the "rule of law", advocacy for the principle that all persons are equal under the law, advocacy for criminal prosecutions for all persons committing crimes under the Bush Administration, recognizing the import of the Nuremburg principle of individual responsibility, and rejection of the Fascist defense of "following orders", etc. are sorely needed in a politicized and debased federal executive. As a former prosecutor you recognize the need for a legal counsel who advocates acting according to the law, not according to perceived political advantage or disadvantage. Ms. Klobuchar, do as an ethical prosecutor would do, "do the right and legal thing!" ********** [095049:042909] E.G., Suffern, NY "EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW" All of our administration and congress have sworn to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Do so, and our Constitution will preserve, protect and defend us. Do the right thing: confirm Dawn Johnsen. ********** [085113:042909] J.J., Hatfield, MA Confirm Dawn Johnsen for Office of Legal Counsel Now ********** [052256:042909] A.R., Bellows Falls, VT The perpetrators of war crimes (torture) MUST be prosecuted! Any "amnesty" for either bush or cheney or any other person involved in the crafting or execution of actions that go against the Geneva Conventions simply has to be dismissed out-of-hand. To do anything less is to declare to the world that the United States is a nation of deceit and hypocrisy, not to be trusted. Do any of you REALLY want to continue to support the stupidity of the bush years? Do you WANT to see our country continue to sink in the estimation of the world's people? Do you really think we can carry the enmity of those people forever before they decide to take control over a nation that has been running amok for years? If not, then we need to own the fact that we allowed a hopeless incompetent to be installed in our highest office, did NOT seek to remove him when it was exposed that he is a liar, and have allowed treasonous breaches of trust within our own government to happen. It is now time to make right the thousands of wrongs. If you do not seek to exact punishment for the crimes committed by the bush administration, then you should all consider allowing 85% of the people behind bars in our prisons to go free or make a televised announcement that the U.S. is a hypocritical nation that maintains one set of laws for its elite and connected and a very different set for the rank-and-file. ********** [183701:042809] G.C., Gerald, MO 974 ********** [163008:042809] J.L., Aptos, CA It is important that we have a representative in the Office of Legal Counsel, who pays attention to the actions that our government does in our name and has the integrity to speak out when we lower our standards for ethical behavior (no matter what is given as a justification). ********** [111902:042809] s.k., Pueblo, CO Yes she can! ********** Go Back
