Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is correct we need to look into and remove Judge Bybee off the bench. It's just amazing how a person could write the language of torture while circumventing US laws and still serve in a US Federal court? By the way, Sen. McCaskill is the same Senator who suggested earlier that 401(K)'s should not be tied to the market. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is correct we need to look into and remove Judge Bybee off the bench.

Judge Bybee's actions in the torture memo saga was prior to him being a federal judge. However, Bybee has a law license and can practice law. And Bybee's actions in authorizing torture as a former DOJ employee of the Office of Legal Counsel and his oath as federal judge and his ability to apply the law as written should be questioned by Congress and Senate.

One thing I noticed is that none of them were impeached for something they did <em>before</em> they became a judge. I guess it was presumed by the framers of the constitution that the US Senate would weed out those unfit to be judges. But because these "torture memos" were illegally classified, all involved could safely act like no proof existed.
