John Ashcroft will leave his post... this is good...

[No Mandate Here.]

Ashcroft leaves. This is good.

Specter says he will not be bullied on SCOTUS appointees. This is good.

Specter says he never said those words, and will lie down in front of the pResident's nominees and let them pass. This is bad.

* tells press conference he has political capital and the 'will of the people', so bug off. This is bad.

Ashcroft will be appointed to SCOTUS. He will serve for a generation, soaring like an eagle. This is worst.

I feel horribly for our kids, and their kids

1. No fucking way.please tell me this isn't true.

[No Mandate Here.]

3. We can only hope it isn't

I live in Pennsylvania, and plan on calling and emailing Specter's office as often as I can. If you live here,...

His Washington office number is 1.202.224.4254

His email address is: <[e-mail] >

We should be in touch with the whole Judiciary committee.

2. I don't think Ashcroft will be going to SCOTUS.

All I've heard is that he's leaving for health reasons, and probable replacement will be Giuliani(sp). I actually think Rudy would be quite an improvement.

4. I hope you are right.

5. Hmmmm

Maybe choking on your own bile catches up with you after awhile.

6. Easier

for him to prepare his testimony before the Judical committee after he is nominated to the Supreme Court.

7. I'd bet good money that Bush will immediately nominate

Ashcroft for SC when Rehnquist retires.

It's his MO. Whenever you predict what Bush will do all you have to do is think the worst and double it. You'll seldom be wrong.

8. Ashcroft is going for SCOTUS

His health reason is probably going to a spa for a tan and a massage....

The Democrats have to filibuster this one to kingdom come.

9. Asscroft. The most sour son of a bitch I've ever seen!

With him leaving, Lady Justice will be able to bear her breast again. This is good.

10. Don't bet on that.

The bible belt bubbas are running the show for the time being.

11. Look out for flash pictures when

you sneak a peak at a Playgirl or Playboy magazine at a magazine rack.

12. If Ashcroct leaves...

... who will Bush put in his place.

[chicagojoe]

13. Some new moron, that's all.

[Spirochete]

14. Roy Moore, probably. :(
