1. Good riddance Kozinski 2. Disturbing but par for the course that Democrats didn't impeach his 9th Circuit colleague Jay Bybee, co-author of torture memos, when they had the chance (Why does Professor Yoo get all the blame?)https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/02/torture-memo-author-now-a-federal-judge-still-justifying-torture/272998/?utm_source=twb …
possible answesr: poll data many Dem voters are against torture "except for special circs," meaning they are pro-torture. Dem electeds don't see it as a winning issue? Or they're soft on torture themselves?

Concur on both, unfortunately. But the only way to turn the broad public against torture is by exposing its myths and horrors. Until then, soft support is a recipe for losing to R's who promote it --bad law and bad politics. The wages of political fecklessness are irrelevance.
