Oh come on, Eric:
on the topic of Ms. Coulter, I do not think it impossible or necessarily unlikely that were she a leftist, Mr. Ashcroft would seek to imprison her for regular endorsements of mass violence and even political assassination. (She may be joking, but I cant tell and I doubt Ashcroft could either.) Were she an immigrant, there is no question that she would be jailed and probably held incommunicado and in solitary confinement.
