Speaking as a heterosexual, Orthodox-leaning Jewish male, Ashcroft bothers the heck out me too.
I hear all his heartfelt pronouncements that, whatever his feelings on an issue, he will enforce the laws as written. But I have a hard time seeing him, say, working especially hard to defend abortion clinics, or to go after pro-life groups who threaten said clinics. He is promoted as a man of faith. That's all well and good, and I have no problem with someone who believes in something. But if this belief system could compromise the job he's being selected to do- and no small job, this- then I have a problem with *that.*
Gotta be specific here,
Z
