"It is against my religion to impose religion on people," he (Ashcroft)wrote in the book.
But he added,

"I also believe that I need to invite God's presence into whatever I'm doing, including the world of politics."

Everyone expects Mr. Ashcroft to be confirmed, but I am disappointed that Mr.
Kennedy will not launch a filibuster.

The Senate ignores the opinions of the American public when they
make Mr. Ashcroft the next AG.

I think that is a big mistake. The Democrats think they send a hard message to the
President about next SC justices. In fact, I believe the message the Democrats
send is: "we'll go along with the Christian right."

As far as Mr. Aschroft supporters go, they would agree because what is important to them
is that they get another solider in the government that will support Bush.
