TPM interview Dahlia Lithwick about accountability for the Bush admin crimes next year

Dahlia Lithwick is the legal affairs writer for Slate, and she was on a panel at the Netroots Nation in Austin a couple of weeks ago. While there, David Kurz of TPM interviewed Dahlia and asked some interesting questions, to include how the new Congress in 2009 should deal with the increasing evidence of criminality that has characterized the Bush administration and the Department of Justice.

It's a very interesting discussion. She also makes the case very clearly that the Bush administration has been packing the Supreme Court and the judiciary with extremist Federalist members more to create a monarchical Presidency then to change Row vs. Wade -- and it has almost completely worked.



An irrelevant comment - I've read a lot of Dahlia's work over the years, but I had no idea that she "spoke with her hands" as extensively and as fluently as she does in this interview.
