While I'm at it, I'm impressed with Ashcroft. Destroying the gun purchasing records and now fighting to restore the Pledge in schools. I never thought we would have that kind of an AG in Justice in the Bush White House.
Lastly, Bush himself, standing up to the ABA regarding judicial appointments and the UN reguarding the ICC and our troops. Asking everyone to pray for him. Not to mention his defeat of the Taliban.
God bless Bush, Ashcroft, and with urgency-- Cheney. Freegards....

"Question: Did you go straight to the Department of Justice from Blackwell?"
Klayman: Yes. I stayed at Blackwell for about two years, then I joined the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice where I stayed from 1979 until 1981. That was the next building block. I had learned how to try cases at Blackwell, then I wanted to specialize in competition, as well as try cases. I was in a litigation section of the DOJ."

Thursday, August 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a letter today to Vice Presidential nominee Richard Cheney, Common Cause called on the candidate to pledge to divest himself of his stock and stock options in Halliburton Company prior to taking office, should he be elected. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, Cheney should also renounce any future interest in Halliburton he could not so divest, and place the proceeds from any sale of his interests in a blind trust, according to Common Cause.

Opting Out
By Jonathan D. Salant
The Associated Press
W A S H I N G T O N, Sept. 1 — Republican vice-presidential nominee Dick Cheney said today he was “fully prepared to forfeit” oil-company stock options that he would otherwise continue to hold after taking office if he and George W. Bush win in November.
Cheney made the statement as he prepared to release his financial disclosure forms and 10 years of income tax returns.
“In order to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest, I am fully prepared to forfeit any options that have not vested by the time I assume office,” said Cheney, who recently stepped down as the head of Dallas-based Halliburton Co., the world’s largest oil services company.
Cheney, who was chairman and chief executive of the company, left with more than $13.6 million worth of stock and options, some of which could not be sold yet. Options allow someone to buy a company’s stock at a preset price.
Democrats who supported "Droopy Drawers" don't understand that.
