"We are absolutely stunned," says Mahoney. "Why does the Bush Administration want to keep me from peacefully praying on a public sidewalk near an abortion clinic?"

Duh? Because its the law of the land?

What "law of the land" would that be?

If Reno's injunction was thrown out by the appeals court and Ashcroft's has yet to pass court scrutiny, what established law is being violated?

When Reno did it, it was found to be unconstitutional,

Ashcroft is disobeying the law of the land. The court has spoken on the matter.
They're just politicians after the Democrat vote, at the expence of their base.
Decieving? Sure. Rightous? No way.

Some folks don't understand that Attorney General Ashcroft and President Bush just cannot pick and choose which laws they intend to enforce. This article just gives the anti-Bush crowd an opportunity to slam some more on here!

Guess some folks believe that their cause is just even if it breaks the law and why should a little thing like the LAW be enforced since it doesn't suit their purpose?

Amazing -- look for the pile ons of the anti-Bush crowd! If I am ever stopped for speeding, how about if I tell the cop I don't like the speed limit so he cannot enforce the law and give me a ticket! That would never fly but what is the difference -- the law is the law and it applies to everyone! If this person doesn't like the law, then work to get it changed -- otherwise obey the law or go to jail -- his choice.
