Congress wanted extensive changes; Ashcroft refused and told them basically "we risk another imminent terrorist attack unless you pass this right now." They did. He is now touring the country trying to drum up support for this act. Interesting behavior for someone who simply enforces what congress wants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
