1. Don't be "sorry." I know enough to be concerned that, once again, "real" conservatives are willing to toss the Constitution overboard when it suits their purposes.
2. Again, if all the alleged flaws with the trial case are true even in part, the appeal is a slam dunk.
3. Bottom line, what you are saying is that you don't trust the judicial process, not just in this case, but period. I sympathize with that position, and would respect fighting to restore a measure of trust in the judiciary. However, the narrow, hysterical focus on this one case because it touches on the illegal immigration debate only leaves me cold.
You know I get really sick of the "real" conservative thing. What is it you're saying to me. Why the quotation marks? Are you mocking my position? Or are you just trying to belittle it?
My concern about the judicial process in this specific case is that potentially now Border Patrol agents will be more reluctant to pursue things like the U-Haul that came down a dirt back road by the Otay Mesa crossing yesterday and tried to smash an agent between the U-Haul and the BP vehicle, for fear that they, too, will face charges and jail.
However, the narrow, hysterical focus on this one case because it touches on the illegal immigration debate only leaves me cold.
That's a shame. I felt the same when this happened to one our brave soldiers in Iraq trying to do his job so I don't consider it to be a narrow hysterical focus. This is just the issue at hand.
