j271, you've got a good debating point here. Unfortunately, the ellipse in that debating point erases some important information, to wit: "and FDR". The exclusion of that conjuction isn't an accurate representation of my argument.
Having said that, I'm sorry for not being as clear as I should've been. But we can clear this up. Ashcroft, it has been demonstrated, has gone after non-citizens, whereas Abraham Lincoln went after those who'd renounced their citizenship--but old Abe didn't accept that renunciation. So there is a difference.
