There was someone in the gallery during President George W. Bush’s State of the Union speech that he would not dare publicly recognize. Even though he knew she was there, I’m confident he never even bothered to look up at Gallery 5, Row B, Seat 9, because sitting in that seat was Monica Ramos, the wife of imprisoned former Border Patrol agent Ignacio Ramos. She was the invited guest of Republican California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.

And there you have it. A calm, rational, grown-up reply.
It' calm,it' rational,it's grown up and it's better then anything you've posted darling !!!
Good analysis. Can the sentences be reduced on appeal? I believe there should be no pardon until the appeals process is complete.
Thanks, dear. I like all the exclamation points.
I've been asking that question since the Berger sentencing.
I agree with you,he should have fire a lot more !!!
Constitution Party threads belong in the humor section.
When you defend them for filing a false report, you sound like a lib. They filed a false report and threw away evidence because they knew they had done wrong.
Wellllllllll you know us libs,we're usually taking the side of US Border Guards over Mexican drug dealers.It must be our upbringing.Viva Mehico,viva Mehican drug dealers !!!
They should due time for being lousy shoots!
So you think lying and hiding evidence is OK?
LOL.
I'm ok with it !!!

Here's a good link detailing this story
How are things on the "West Side" with the Illegal Immigrants?
No, what has destroyed his credibility is that he has allowed all this to be done while simultaneously:
1. Sandy Berger is walking around free with a slap on the wrist.
2. Scooter Libbey is being allowed to twist in the wind at the mercy of an out-of-control prosecutor, while the high-ranking lady CIA Asst. Director (whose name momentarily eludes me) who helped set up the whole Valerie Plame scam was also given a slap on the wrist, allowed to resign, and not prosecuted.
3. The publisher and editor or the New York Time, their reporters, and the US govt. agents in the CIA and State Departments who illegally leaked and published classified information on two national security programs critical to our fight against terrorists have yet to be arrested, indicted and tried for breaking the law.
4. An out-of-control JAG corps in our military is being allowed to devastate the morale of our fighting men and women in harms way with politically motivated prosecutions.
5. Members of the US Congress, former government officials now flacking for foreign governments, and lunatic ex-Presidents are routinely jet-setting around the world and publicly conducting, with great media fanfare, their own foreign policy negotiations with enemy governments in direct violation of the Logan Act, and in direct contradiction of the policies of the duly-elected government of our country, and NOTHING has been done about it.
The above list is far from exhaustive. I could go on for quite a while, but they suffice to illustrate the point. What has destroyed President Bush's credibility is NOT that the border agents were punished, it's the HYPOCRITICAL and SELECTIVE nature of the Bush Administration's Justice Department, it's the "Justice For Thee, But Not For Me" attitude.
These border agents messed-up, badly, but what they did does not represent a threat to our national survival, yet their own government comes down on them like the proverbial ton of bricks, while high-ranking, powerful individuals in positions of trust and grave responsibility for our nation's security, and who commit crimes which DO threaten our security, and which DO give "aid and comfort" to our mortal enemies, these people are untouched.
As long as this brazen, contemptible double-standard of justice remains the preferred philosophy of the Administration and indeed the rest of the government classes, they will never regain their credibility, and they will have squandered and forfeited their legitimacy.
I'm sorry. I'm going to have to plead ignorance here. What are you asking? I'll be happy to answer.
