I must disagree. The willingness to ignore constitutional provisions when they are inconvenient smacks of opportunism. What other constitutional provisions is Representative Hunter willing to throw under the bus? A congressman should be looking at the laws to see if there are flaws that need to be corrected. But there’s no publicity opportunity in that, is there?

An appeal to President Bush would be appropriate for a pardon, this is not.

And I note this little failure on his part for future reference, to be considered when Congressman Hunter asks me for my vote to be President.

The president’s required signature on the bill “would obviously be synonymous with his authority to execute a pardon,” he said. “The Congress is doing nothing more than initiating a pardon.”

Hunter introduced a bill that if signed by the President (if it makes it to his desk) would pardon Ramos and Campean.

The Constitutional aspects of that proposed law will be debated during the legislative process, it will stand or fall on it's merits.

Sounds like you hit the jackpot, you've got a reason now not to like Duncan Hunter, life is good eh?
