Darn Consv/Rep Judges!! (political)

There's been some jibber jabber around here from time to time about how some Republican/Conservative types like to bend the Constitution. It's not always that black and white as this article demonstrates....And these were Bush/Regan appointees!!!

I could merge it with the O Speech thread if it'd make you feel special

The article was more than 100 words long

Read the labor agreement. We only have to read the first 100 words.

Of course we don't. I always thought of the franchise as being equally shared between the ACLU and the NRA.

Seriously, do you think that Ashcroft should be prosecuted and that this man's constitutional rights were violated? From what little I know of this case, it seems like the latter might be true but I hesitate on who should be prosecuted for it. How high up did the calls to deny due process go? This is as sticky as prosecuting the CIA in torture, imo.
