If you needed any further proof that things are different--very different--today, there's this: Balkinization blogger Marty Lederman will take John Yoo's former position, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for OLC.

*** As of today, the commencement of the Obama Administration, he begins work as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel. There he will be joined by two of his former OLC colleagues, Dawn Johnsen, nominated to be head of the office; and David Barron, who will serve as the Principal Deputy (and as the Acting AAG while the Senate considers Dawn’s nomination).

We've replaced the guy who did Bush and Cheney's evil bidding with a blogger-prof and Constitutional champion, Marty Lederman.

Welcome to a new day, America.
