Rep. Nadler,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the service you continue to perform for your constituents in New York and all Americans. Your commitment to tough, incisive questioning of those brought before the House Judiciary Committee is deserving of the highest of praise. During the (unfortunately timed) inquiry into the Department of Justice's policies toward the Bush Administration, your questions put into sharp relief the Bush Administration's "L'etat, c'est moi" style of governance and made it clear that the Attorney General was not upholding his constitutional obligations. More recently, in the case of Maher Arar, your steady, solid, and revealing questions led Homeland Security officials to admit that the Administration had knowingly engaged in illegal extraordinary rendition. All of this is now in the public record, thanks to you. I also applaud your vocal support of gay and lesbian equality in a time when many states are amending their constitutions to prevent these citizens from having the right to marry whom they please. Your courage is exemplary. Thank you for all of your work to ensure liberty, equality, justice, and openness in government in these difficult times. I look forward to hearing of your work for many years into the future.
Oh, he's probably done bad things too, but he has a progressive record and how are our legislators ever going to learn if they're not given little nudges now and then?
