Justice Department Lawyer To Congress: ‘The President Is Always Right’

Thanks to thinkprogress.org:

The Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday heard testimony from Steven Bradbury, head of the Justice Department’s office of legal counsel. When questioned by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) on whether the President’s interpretation of the Hamdan case was right or wrong, Bradbury replied, “The President is always right.” Watch it

Bradbury served from 1992-1993 as a law clerk for Bush I appointed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and since then has been a Bush apologist.

Steven Bradbury has stated that the president has the authority to order someone who has not yet been charged as a terrorist to be killed on the grounds of being a terrorist.

He has defended Bush's use of covert propaganda on unsuspecting Americans in the form of video news releases produced by the Pentagon, State Department and at least 18 other US agencies.
