I am embarrassed that Sutton is still on my payroll.

How could Bush have let Congress get to the right of him on this issue? What a catastrophe.

And Sutton should be hounded with this to the end of career.

Free access passes were issued to him even after he was identified by the DEA in a second shipment of narcotics into our country.

If those puds in Washington wanted to investigate a REAL scandal, they would look into this. This whole case stinks out loud and if Glenn Beck is right, it goes all the way to the top.

The Democrats allowing this to pass is interesting. It was my read that amnesty had absolutely no chance in the House where Democrats did not want to commit electoral suicide. I guess this could be read as there is significant oppositon to amnesty among Democrats. I guess it could also be read that the Democrats feel that is a way to embarrass the President and his incompetent Justice Department. Either way, it shows how out of touch the Senate is and in particular the many treacherous RINOS.

“Democrats such as Alan Mollohan of West Virginia opposed the attempt to free the two men”

I guess this clown was also in favor of amnesty for illegals. Fancy how the Dims support real criminals and keep good, honest, patriots in jail. I was in El Paso when all this took place and the scenes there were very, very sad. Their families have suffered enough.

Free Ramos and Compean. Shame on George W. Bush.

Duncan Hunter played a large part in this, as well. He has been fighting for Ramos and Compean since they were arrested. Bush is hardnosed about our borders, and Sutton is his good friend. What happens now, I wonder?

I just don’t get Bush. I read over the transcripts and I can’t understand how a jury could return a guilty verdict. They may have violated some BP procedures, but I certainly don’t see they PROVED these men did anything beyond that. No ballistics, no proof the criminal was unarmed, no proof he was shot by the agents. Just the criminals word against the agents. These men were railroaded, period, and I don’t see a reason for such zeal in convicting them of this outside the obvious. Maybe the same reason Bush and Chertoff are ignoring the law and not getting the fence built?

I am sure Perdogg and CharlesWilson, the law and order apologists for Sutton will check in shortly. Hold Congressmen’s feet to the fire on this one!

Rohrabacher said Sutton should "either testify under oath before Congress and explain these things or resign as U.S. attorney."

Works for me.

How does the US Congress have power to intervene in a judicial proceeding? Any constitution lawyers out there?

I’m just curious. (I favor significant reduction of their sentences. However I have not heard good reasons for overlooking their coverup.)

Two of the jurors have stated that had they been presented with additional evidence, they would have changed their vote.

Former mayor of SanDiego (I think) was on a talk show discussing his research.

I agree, my first thoughts at reading this....pretty random, almost as unbelievable as a court using Rowe vs Wade to justify elective homicide
