Unintentionally amusing quote of the day:
Paul Weyrich, quoted in this NYT article on why some conservatives are uncomfortable with Ashcroft's anti-terrorism policies:
"A lot of the social conservatives appreciate the stands he's taken on child pornography and the Second Amendment and a number of social issues."But there is suddenly a great concern that what was passed in the wake of 9-11 were things that had little to do with catching terrorists but a lot to do with increasing the strength of government to infiltrate and spy on conservative organizations."
