Of Course He'll Appeal

This is exactlly what has me most infurriated with GWB and the bunch of neo-clowns that are pretending to be good republicans. Ashcroft is the worst AG since Ed Meese.
He really seems to think that all this gestapo shit he pulls is constitutional.
This is the guy that lost an election to a dead man so they made him the country's top cop. He is constantly using the threat of terrorists to take away everyone's rights.
We don't need four more years of this.

SCHEVENINGEN, Netherlands (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said on Thursday the Bush administration was likely to appeal against a U.S. District Court ruling that part of the Patriot Act was unconstitutional.

"Without knowing the specifics, I wouldn't be able to assure you that the case would be appealed, but it is almost a certainty that it would be appealed," Ashcroft told reporters after meeting European Union justice and interior ministers.

"We believe the act to be completely consistent with the United States' Constitution," he added.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero ruled that surveillance powers granted to the FBI under the Patriot Act, a cornerstone of the U.S. war on terror, were unconstitutional.
