<<68% of African-Americans feel "cheated" by the outcome of this election. The nomination of Ashcroft will only worsen their feelings of being cheated. He is adamantly opposed to affirmative action and has said so many times. >> Then they should be tickled half to death over Colin Powell, he's for affirmative action. I bet you'd crab if Bush created a new cabinet position and named Christ in charge of the Department of Miracles.

Tough noogies. Our government and our nation is not about "feelings". Its about the rule of law, something we seem to have veered perilously away from in the last eight years. Those "feelings" of being cheated you speak of are not connected to any facts but more likely to overheated rhetoric of race hucksters like Jackson and Sharpton who make their living by dividing people in this country. Reasonable minds may disagree over affirmative action and over what constitutes discrimination and even over what remedies, if any, the Courts and the government should fashion. Such disagreements do not constitute racism nor "cheating" of any kind. Differences in opinion, especially vigorous differences, are the the types of speech our Constitution fully protects. JLA
