Finally, some good news concerning this case!
To: Souled_Out
President Bush has made his position very clear, any illegal alien, even drug dealers, have rights that trump the rights of any American citizen. If the Democrats want an impeachment, they'll want to dig into the possibility of a drug cartel payoff in this case. El olor es fuerte!

I don't see this as anything more than an attempt at Hunter & co. to pander for votes.
The legal precedent on this issue is very clear, Congress can't pardon people. There was a case with almost identical circumstances back in 1946, US v. Lovett, in which the Supreme Court overruled an attempt by Congress to single out three State Dept. employees by name in an appropriations bill.
There's no way that Duncan Hunter doesn't know about that precedent, but he goes ahead with the amendment anyway, knowing it will be overturned, because he gets to look like he's tough on illegal immigration.

How could Bush have let Congress get to the right of him on this issue? What a catastrophe.George Bush has long since stopped pretending to give a damn about the Right.

I read over the transcripts and I cant understand how a jury could return a guilty verdict.I have not read the transcripts but I would bet a goodly sum that if you look closely you will find that Sutton defined the crimes to fit the acts. This is a common tactic of unethical Nifongers in the prosecutors' offices around the land.
