The problem with Ashcroft was his abuse of the Patriot act for investigations unrelated to Terrorism. I have serious doubts that the guy who created the administration's weasly policies on enemy combatants and torture, and who ended 50 years of American Bar Association vetting of federal judges because the radical wing of the Republican party doesn't like the constitution, is going to be a super great AG. The only blessing here is that they didn't put him on the Supreme Court bench.
