'Pod, this is not an argument. First of all, you draw some equivalence between Janet Reno and John Ashcroft - I reject that out of hand. (Get back to me when Ashcroft burns down a compound with citizens inside, or kidnaps a child and sends him off to live under a dictatorship.) Secondly, your assertion that Klayman "couldn't be worse" is pure speculation and doesn't appear to be based on the only evidence we have, which is his past performance.
And I'm sorry - you seem like a decent guy - but you're not always right.
I believe the ump has tossed you. See you next time.
Look 'Vet, nobody hates Miz Rhino worse than i do for what happened to the BDers.
But the Injustice Department is detaining some guy (can't remember which one) w/o access to a lawyer or a court date because of alleged links to Al Quaeda. Ashcroft approves.
Ashcroft approves also of the Patriot Act. Secret evidence. snooping on your email or your phone calls w/o having to go before a judge.
In my opinion, he is absolutely as corrupt as she was/is. If he wasn't, he would refuse to use those powers and promulgate regulations to make sure they were never used. I think he asked for them (the new powers). There is a moral equivalence here. Maybe he hasn't approved the way out of hand assault and trumped up stuff that happened to the BDers. But, he has shown no inclination that i can see that he wouldn't. Seems way too autocratic/tyrannical to me. Again, my opinion.
AFA being tossed out of the game by the ump, reference my comment about "carolina refs."
BTW, you seem like a decent sort too. But, I am ALWAYS right. This is not debatable. :-). It is a fact of the universe. 'Pod
