“Tyrant!”

That was the cry that went up from the crowd at the Federalist Society dinner where attorney general Mukasey fainted. It came from a Washington state Supreme Court judge who, unlike so many now on the "right", still believes in liberty:

In his speech, Mukasey offered a defense against criticisms about the Bush administration’s policies in the war on terrorism. Sanders said he "passionately" disagrees with those policies and felt compelled to say so. Sanders, who is a Federalist Society member, said that he wasn’t heckling Mukasey, and left shortly after his outburst. "I believe we must speak our conscience in moments that demand it, even if we are but one voice," he said in a statement Tuesday.
