Last night, at the Ritz Carlton in D.C., the Traditional Values Coalition and the American Center for Law and Justice (our friend Jay Sekulow) hosted a Christian Inaugural Gala. It was a terrific event. Emceed by former Congressman J.C. Watts, the event featured what might be called a farewell address by Attorney General John Ashcroft. General Ashcroft was as relaxed as I’ve seen him in the last four years, no doubt for a few reasons: 1) he was among his strongest supporters; 2) he was able to invoke the name of the Almighty not to gasps, but to “Amens,” and 3) the burden of being the Chief Law Enforcement officer in these difficult times is soon to be lifted from him.
