Bad Judgment Finally Bites Back

And Also: I skimmed The Terror Presidency which shows even those (too) friendly to conservative viewpoints, like wariness of international human rights law, think the Bushies went too far and promoted specious legal reasoning. It also noted that Clinton (see Kagan/Dellinger) promoted executive power in various ways.

Good play is not the same as good judgment:

But when Ocmulgee County District Attorney Fred Bright announced that charges would not be brought, he did describe Roethlisberger’s behavior in troubling detail. “We are not condoning Mr. Roethlisberger’s actions that night,” Bright said at the news conference. “But we do not prosecute morals. [At least, less so than in the past.] We prosecute crimes.”

Well, the NFL does worry about it as shown by the six game suspension given to the two time Super Bowl winner.
