NEW YORK — It’s all out there now, in all its vivid madness. America’s democracy, on “Justice Department” stationery, impaling us on the horns of our own sanctimony. Paragraph after paragraph of banal, mediocre legal prose, the work of the department’s “Office of Legal Counsel” attorneys, who are now back in private practice (or on a federal bench).

Do they look back at these memos, to their years in government, as the “good old days,” when they fought the good fight, defining the outer limits of decency and human endurance? Did any of them ever get the equivalent of the “heck of a job, Brownie” for their troubles? You have to wonder.
