The critical question this raises
Attorney General John Ashcroft yesterday left open the prospect of a system of civil unions for same-sex couples amid the raging debate over homosexual "marriage."
Mr. Ashcroft said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday" that he supported President Bush's call to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
But he declined to comment on the Bush administration's stance on civil unions, which would grant same-sex couples many of the same rights enjoyed by married couples.
"That's a very complex question that I'm not going to make a recommendation on. We're doing research on that now," Mr. Ashcroft told the television program.
What the hell is John Ashcroft to be ruling anything out OR in? He's the goddam Attorney General. He should be enforcing laws. Period. He shouldn't even have an opinion of note.
