ASHCROFT: Not a racist

From IBD, 12/27/2000, p. A20:

"As for his record on civil right, activists cite his opposition to the nominations of black Missouri judge Ronnie White to the federal bench and Bill Lann Lee to be assistant attorney general for civil rights.

In both instances, Ashcroft took principled positions. He said White was soft on crime and the death penalty. So, too, did the Missouri Federation of Police Chiefs and the national Sheriffs Association.

As for the Lee appointment, Ashcroft doesn't believe quotas are the answer to racial problems; Lee does. Democrat senators tell the media that Ashcroft is a not a racist, but that matters not to activists.

And why aren't the activists talking about Ashcroft's wife Janet? She taught at Howard University, the nation's leading historically black school."

You don't like Ashcroft's conservative viewpoint. That's what the beef really is, isn't it?
