[Servant of the Nine]

Ashcroft has never been anything but a self serving weasel. He will do and say absolutely anything that will secure his power. Why isn't he a Democrat?

The Atty. Gen. may be responsible for defending all laws, but nothing requires him to do it well. All the Govt. had to do was show up in court and say it was a stupid law and they didn't like it either.

The Atty. Gen. may be responsible for defending all laws, but nothing requires him to do it well.

His conscience would. If he actually wins this, and I hope he doesn't, there could then be no doubt that Ashcroft took his oath seriously.

All the Govt. had to do was show up in court and say it was a stupid law and they didn't like it either.

Then he would be acting like a legislator, tyring to write laws, or like the judicial, trying to determine if they are constitutional. He is acting like what he is, the part of the executive branch responsible for enforcing the laws that Congress enacts.
