Can't agree with that. I had no problem with Ashcroft, although I didn't think he was tough enough, and Ashcroft wasn't a gun grabber.
I'll bet you haven't read his bio. I've seen FReepers say Gonzalez isn't a Federalist Society member. Well, he is. Ashcroft was too. Gonzalez spent 4 years working at Ashcroft's side in the White House.
