As you know, Holder is Obama's nominee for Attorney General.
Via Think Progress, check him out replying to Texas republican Sen. John Cornyn's softheaded attempt to justify torture using a hypothetical derived from...well, if you've been reading this blog more than, say "24" hrs...you can probably guess what it's derived from.
Holder doesn't merely smack him down. He can hardly keep himself from laughing in the senator's face. It's pretty cool. Like, whoa--an actual adult in a presidential administration!
And by the way, a word about Cornyn's understanding of civil rights: This is a man who thinks it would be perfectly okay to amend the Constitution to make it illegal for gays to marry. But waterboarding? That's all right.
