Go Ashcroft!

Criminals behind bars where they belong...what a novel idea!

(And no, I don't want criminals "warehoused." I want them to be PUNISHED.)

This is nothing new. State prosecutors have long had their discretion extremely limited. Any significant departure requires an aproval from a supervisor.

The general concept is: Better an aquital by a jury than bad PR from mercy gone ary.

Federal prosecutors tend to be far more picky about the cases they take on anyways.

Ashcroft should pratice what he preaches.
He STILL refuses to indict either klintoon.
He already let Reno run for office in FL and never indicted her.
He's opened the door for hitlery to run.
Dims will just say
"If either klintoon commited any crimes Ashcroft would have indicted them."
