Well, it's going to be just fascinating to see what happens with this case on Ashcroft's watch.
It's especially interesting because these sorts of cases seem to be endemic to the governments judicial enforcement branches. The Secret Service, the FBI, the Capitol police -- for some reason, all the enforcement branches of the Department of Justice have repeatedly been found guilty of illegal discrimination. And yet, as noted, they're frequently charged with enforcing certain edicts and protecting people under color of the civil rights laws. What a cheery situation that must be!
