Dalia “” Lithwick:
You can use the passive voice all you want, I suppose, but it doesn’t change the fact that Taylor and now Harriet Miers have chosen to honor their former boss’s absurdly broad assertion of executive privilege over a congressional subpoena. Loyalty to your boss is not a legal doctrine. Nor is trying to position yourself to get a good job someday
in the future.
Don’t hate me, baby. You’re still my favorite Canadian.
