Bush opens door for faith based groups to receive fed funds
President Bush signed executive orders creating a White House Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives and offices in five Cabinet departments to boost competition for government social service funding by religious groups. He vowed no funding for religious activities but equal access to grants, with tax incentives and liability protections to spur charitable work. Opponents warn of constitutional issues and potential discrimination without strict oversight.

Leahy and Clinton pledge votes against Ashcroft nomination
Senate Democrats Patrick Leahy and Hillary Rodham Clinton said they will vote against John Ashcroft for attorney general. Leahy criticized his positions on civil rights gays abortion and guns but won't back a filibuster. Clinton said Ashcroft's record places him on distant shores of American jurisprudence as the Judiciary Committee planned a Tuesday vote.
