Check up on the federal trial of Ed Rosenthal, not exactly a model for state's rights. There are people on the right who disapprove of Ashcroft as well, ever heard of Libertarians?
I think Ashcroft covering the statue of
JUSTICE will be seen as a watershed moment in our history, that is if our civil liberties continue to erode and it looks like they will.
How about the investigation into the Anthrax attacks? What happened with that? And yet Ashcroft has the time to put Tommy Chong in jail for selling bongs over the internet, wonderful.
Everyone on the TFP knows about Ashcroft plans to attack the production and distribution of pornography right? It was slated for a fall 2001 launch, stymied by 9/11, darn.
On 9/11: blame for missing these attacks doesn't lay on any one person's head. It's pretty clear however, from reading the 9/11 commision report, that had our various law enforcement agencies communicated better we could have prevented the attacks.
How about the investigation into which administration official outed Joseph Wilson's wife as a CIA operative? Guess Ashcroft's sleuthing skills fail when the trail leads to the Pentagon or Karl Rove's office. I'd love to see a douche like Bob Novak rot in jail for a while, but not for this reason. We need to find his sources.
The patriot act was his baby, he has campaigned for it's renewal.
And it's not just that Ashcroft is religious, he is a fundamentalist. He believes that the world poofed into existance about 10K years ago, that there is a heaven with angels, a hell where the devil resides, and that the USA is protected a character called "God," hilarious. That's not the kind of disregard for empiricism or rational thought that I'd like to see in our nation's highest defender of justice.
