From texastoo.

Can you post this? It is very important. I have to admire Feinstein as she is asking the best questions regarding this that I have ever seen.

Feinstein can be an old-line Democrat sometimes. Of the Senate Democrats, I respect her the most.

Sometimes she has moments of decency......she was also appalled last year at how many immigrants the original Amnesty Bill would allow into the country

We've come to this? I actually agree with and support Diane Feinstein?

Pardon these agents, President Bush, before it gets any worse..

NO kidding...I am frankly encouraged that pressure could get her to do this. Maybe it was because the cops were not from LA...

She wouldn't be onboard with this unless she sees an opportunity to tar the administration. However, if it means these 2 agents get a review of the case and released I guess the Justice Dept will just have to take its lumps.

Good for Senator Feinstein.

The more Congresspeople who are asking questions and wanting answers, the better.

Keep the pressure up on the AG's office and on the WH.

Ping..


I liked her straight forward questions to Gonzales. She raised some interesting points for Sutton to answer also. I wonder why no one asked the smuggler about the drug cartels?

My gut reaction is that she and the Dems are going to use this to bash Bush and that is the only reason for her speaking out.

I hope she holds hearing on this and we can watch on TV.

If that is what it takes to clear the air on this case, so be it.

Of all the people,, a liberal Dem comes to the defense of these agents and our own President does not!

Senatewhore Fineswine was not one of the people I sent emails to in regards to the wrongful persecution of the border agents. I think you are right about her motivations.

"If that is what it takes to clear the air on this case, so be it".

I agree, but it seems the only time the dems do something we Freeper consider the right thing, their objective is not necessarily to do it because it is right but rather for political points (i.e. bashing Bush)

This thread is a wonderful demonstration why FR has sunk into the gutter and is more proof that BDS is a real, mental condition.

I cannot stand Feinswine, but this is another case where the Democrats are taking over an issue that should have been led by the Republicans.
