Ashcroft blasts judges
THis is excactly why this man must NEVER be allowed in a position of power again;

WASHINGTON - Departing Attorney General John Ashcroft on Friday lashed out at federal judges who have dealt setbacks to President George W. Bush's anti-terrorism and wartime policies, accusing them of "invasive oversight and micromanagement."

"The danger I see here is that intrusive judicial oversight and second-guessing of presidential determinations in these critical areas can put at risk the very security of our nation in a time of war," Ashcroft said in his first speech since his resignation became public Tuesday.

"These encroachments include some of the most fundamental aspects of the president's conduct of the war on terrorism," he told the Federalist Society, a conservative lawyers group with close ties to the Bush administration.

1. Shut up Ashcroft.
You are out the door and we never want to see or hear from you again. Nobody cares what you think. I don't think that even Bush cares what you think. Fucking religious hypocrite.

2. Well, I finally got my mom to say it...
I asked her what she'd do if he was appointed to the Supreme Court, and she told me she's leave the country.

Seems more and more things would make my parents leave the country these days.

What a creep...and I know. I'm from MO.
