why are statues that represent Justice standing naked?

Classic sculpture often depicts the human body. I suppose back in the day these statues were made, people weren't so sensitive and could handle it.

The PC police are not the ones wanting them covered.

"the offending figures...have been displayed since the 1930s"

PC existed in 1930?

Politically correct people would want the nudity to remain

I'd like the statues to remain in their original state, and I assure you I think very little of political correctness.

Well, I agree, I could live with it. But I don't fault Ashcroft for thinking of it. I don't think we have the whole story here. It seems out of character for him, and the press would like nothing more than to knock him out-of-character. I am defending him inasmuch as arguing against the press report.
