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.

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.
