Was Elian taken in violation of the law? I never heard any conservatives make a case for that. It's not the means that is unethical or wrong here, force is used to achieve the ends of governmental aims all the time, it is the end that makes the difference.

Reno ignored the 11th CCoA decision and another courts decision with the aim of depriving Elian of liberty. To intervene here would be to defend Terri's XIVth A. rights of life, due process and equal justice under the law. Congress didn't move to impeach and remove Clinton for defying the court ruling do you think Congress would have the will to impeach and remove Bush for defending the right to life? There is no other Constitutional sanction on a President's behavior in Office.
