Ashcroft (again)

Ashcroft denounces judges who question Bush

Not to repeat myself, but is he kidding? There is no need for independent judicial oversight of the executive branch. Not while George W is President. Like he said, if you are not supporting the President's policies with regard to terrorism, you are supporting terrorism.

Ashcroft had to possibly be the worst choice for Attorney General since, hmmm, John Mitchell. The parallels between the Nixon and Bush White Houses are frightening. Will the spate of resignations here at the beginning of the 2nd W term turn into some great summer tell-all reading? One can only hope.

In the meantime let's rejoice in the fact that John Ashcroft is leaving, because clearly he was never qualified to be Attorney General.
