Under Mukasey's Paradox, lawyers cannot commit crimes when they act under the orders of a president -- and a president cannot commit a crime when he acts under advice of lawyers. [More]Boy, we're just full of paradoxes today, like the one where you can't exercise your rights without surrendering your rights.
How come these things never seem to work to the advantage of the governed? Perhaps another paradox...?
My head hurts. I think I'll go back in time and kill an ancestor to make it stop.

His ignorance, and lack of ANY BACKBONE, goes beyond just being a Paradox...
A Conundrum wrapped in an Enigma, passed through a Black Hole!
Well written and almost tragically funny, except the rest of us have been aware of this paradox for a Hell of a lot longer than we had ever heard of Mukasey. And that ain't the only level it works on.
I just love intellectuals who stumble across what everybody else already knows and think they discovered or invented it.
