Ashcroft literally begged congress for the power to fire incompetents at the INS and the congress in effect told him to Pi$$ up a rope. If that does not change and change soon then NOTHING an elected official does or says will have any effect whatsoever.

Maybe the Republicans need to play power politics the way that Dems do. Clinton(s), Reno, and Albright had no problem torching anyone and anything that got in their paths.

I agree. The problem with us is that we still try to play fair and by the rules. The dems are like JR Ewing when he said,” once you get past the ethics and morality the rest is a piece of cake".
