I'm all growed up.

I understand that things happen in Washington for political considerations. Things are complex there.

A Republican senator says that President Barack Obama's Attorney General nominee Eric Holder privately offered assurances that no Bush Administration official would be prosecuted for torture if he was confirmed.

The claim was printed Wednesday in a conservative-leaning Washington newspaper.

"Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond, a Republican from Missouri and the vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said in an interview with The Washington Times that he will support Eric H. Holder Jr.'s nomination for Attorney General because Mr. Holder assured him privately that Mr. Obama's Justice Department will not prosecute former Bush officials involved in the interrogations program," Eli Lake writes for the Washington Times.

The report adds, "Sen. Bond also said that Mr. Holder told him in a private meeting Tuesday that he will not strip the telecommunications companies that cooperated with the National Security Agency after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks of retroactive legal immunity from civil lawsuits--removing another potential sticking point among GOP senators."

Things are not complex elsewhere. Things are quite simple, really. There is only one consideration to me: "Do I, or do I not, respect an entity enough to countenance its claim to authority?"

The United States refuses to enforce the law, on two counts: war crimes and illegal wiretaps. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO AROUND HERE TO GO TO JAIL?

Do you honestly, with a straight face, believe that I would even recognize your jurisdiction, much less concern myself with your "laws?"

Is there not a single person in Washington with any understanding whatsoever of political theory?
