Of course, if he had strong convictions, he'd not have taken the job because he would have know issues like this and abortion would be on the burners during his tenure.

Again, I disagree. A man of principal will not run away from an oportunity to do good in other areas, where he may be forced to enforce current laws, even though he disagrees with them.

Don't believe I have EVER read this much hog-swallow on one thread in all my FR life.

A).Ashcroft took an oath as AG to uphold the law-ALL laws. Like it or not. Guess many here aren't use to having an AG that doesn't pick and choose the laws he/she wants to enforce. So unlike Janet Sterno.

B).Ashcroft first AG to interpret the Second Amendment as and INDIVIDUAL right as opposed to a COLLECTIVE right in many years. Remember how Corporal Klinton's Solicitor Gen. argued otherwise? Ashcroft has so instructed his 93 Fed. DAs accordingly.

C).Although unrelated to RKBA, when Ashcroft was Gov. of Missouri, our state was ranked 48th in TOTAL tax burden. After 3 years of Carnahan and the Democrats, we rose to EIGHTEENTH! Right up there with Kali, Mass, NY,etc.

D)As for NRA? They are already confronting pols on their views of letting the AW Ban "sunset." Posted on nraila.org or gomemphis.com as well as most of the gun boards.

If you long for the days of Rambo Reno? I'll see you on the beach...
