He has no choice but to uphold the Brady Law. It's the LAW!

All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.

As determined by the U.S. Supreme Court, not the Attorney General.

Can you help me out here? Maybe I misunderstand how this works. Does Ashcroft have the
discretion to pick and choose WHICH laws he wants to enforce and which laws he can
ignore? And if he does, can he effectively be protected from attacks by DIMocRATS
wrath against him and the GOP? (This is NOT sarcasm, btw).
I thought he told Congress that he would uphold the laws, even the ones he personally
did not agree with (which I thought was the job of the AG?)........
