The power to pardon has nothing to do with "tradition", it is granted exclusively to the president by the Constitution. Hunter, although well intentioned, is attempting to do something that is clearly unconstitutional. It would be better if he proposed a "sense of the House" proclamation.
Article 2 - The Executive Branch
Section 2 - Civilian Power Over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments
The President .... shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
That is the mark of a man unafraid to stand for what’s right.
It will be interesting to see who will embrace this pardon legislation, and who will run from it.
This affirms once again to me that I’m supporting the right man for President.
...and end in 2050, when we've become a province of Mexico.
All election season posturing.
No border = No country.
No immigration enforcement = No immigration law.
Maybe the sentences were an injustice but their convictions weren’t. These two LEO’s shot un unarmed, fleeing suspect in the back, tried to cover it up, lied about it and then when they got to court their story was “we thought we saw a black shiny object in his hand”.
At the time the shoot, they didn’t know if he was a smuggler, a coyote or even if he was a US or Mexican citizen. All they knew was he took them on a short high speed pursuit in a van that didn’t even match the description of the vehicle originally reported leaving the drop area.
I’m all for fully supporting the efforts of our BPA’s, but that support shouldn’t be blind. Maybe these guys didn’t deserve 11-12 years in jail but they also don’t deserve to walk scot free.
Condoning such obvious and dangerous violations of anyones civil rights is a slippery slope to a police state. Illegals may be the “jews” of 21st century America, but as we saw in nazi Germany, that kind of blanket police authority easily moves from one scapegoat to the next.
Either we protect the rights of everyone or no one is safe.
Ramos/Compean and Duncan Hunter Ping!
While I do not expect it to directly accomplish much, the indirect results from putting pressure on the other members and the POTUS may be interesting. Sometimes all one can do is push for those indirect results.
Superb indea Mr. Hunter.
The Left wants to castrate the Border Patrol, the LAPD and all law enforcement, and our entire Armed Forces. Unfortunately, they’re succeeding.

That's more like it. Our do nothing Congress is part of the reason we have such a mess on our borders, and the very reason those two border patrol agents are in prison!
Thank God for men like Duncan Hunter! GW has sat on this for a few months now. He was supposed to review it and make a decision about pardoning them. I never expected to follow through with it because that would have meant going against Mexico's wishes, and God knows he will never do that.
Come on, GW, don't wait two years to do what's right!

Wow, I hope it works....I’m glad he’s trying this. Of course, it scares me a little too, because if this works, what other dem. nuts might try it as well. Those poor men deserve a pardon though. I hate that this has happened to them.
