More Yoo
By Patrick
Former OLC employee Tim Wu:
[Yoo] did the opposite of probably the most important thing that the OLC is supposed to do: tell the government what it can't legally do. He, instead, twisted the law to give his client, the White House, the answer they wanted.
The lawyer is always at risk of becoming his client's lapdog. Legal boot-licking may be a constant temptation in legal practice, and it is something that happens too often, but it's obvious to any lawyer that it is wrong. And the higher the stakes, the worse the sin. Yoo, when tested, failed completely.
