The issue appears to be that this settlement agreement is somehow evil since the Ashcroft-led DoJ worked on it versus the Reno-led DoJ of the recent past.
As if settlement before wouldn't have been 'evil'... And been hailed that way.
IF the case ends on this settlement agreement with all the states capitulating to the DoJ, then you MIGHT have a point.
Heh. IF? Remember, the perversity of the universe tends toward a maximum.
