That is what people expect. I believe that is why Kennedy will begin a filibuster. It takes 60 to cut him off. Evidently, there are members of the press that do not believe Ashcroft told the complete truth to the committee. The Washington Post suggested if. I posted the article about it. And the Village Vote also posted their concerns. Attorney General Pick Says He Backs Integration, but Actions Suggest Otherwise Sorting Fact From Fiction in Ashcroft's Record by James Ridgeway villagevoice.com JANUARY 18, 2001—In his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, John Ashcroft, Bush's nominee to be attorney general, denied he opposed desegregation in the St. Louis schools. "Nothing could be further from the truth," he said. He has also said, "I don't oppose desegregation" and "I am in favor of integration." But according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, in 1984 Ashcroft called the St. Louis desegregation plan an "outrage against human decency." In his gubernatorial campaign that year, he widely advertised his fight against desegregation, claiming he had done "everything in his power legally" to fight the plan, and backed up that fact by telling reporters to just ask the judge "who threatened me with contempt."
