Female, and Black, and a Carter Appointee -- Oh my!

Jonathan Turley on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night on the illegal warrantless wiretapping ruling:
Every time a judge rules against the administration they are either too Democratic or too tall or too short or Pisces. All this spin - this effort to personalize it is doing a great injustice to our system. The problem is not the judge. The problem is a lack of authority. When Gonzales says ‘I got something back in my safe and if you could see it you would all agree with me’. Well, unless there’s a federal statute back in his safe, then it’s not going to make a difference."
Turley also said that if Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) proceeds with his sham "compromise" legislation after a judge has already ruled the program unconstitutional, it would be "the greatest whitewash of the century."

Crooks & Liars has the video.
