This lawsuit was started under Clinton/Jannet Reno and when Ashcroft became Bush's AG he wanted to drop the suit because he daid the courts wouldn't uphold it.

Congress put in a line item in the budget requiring him to continue with the suit.

Now, the day after he leaves office, the courts have agreed with him and stuck it to Congress.

It bears repeating. Good show of the appeals court.
