not one second to write and submit legislation that corrects and redefines 18 U.S.C. 924(c) ...

Why write legislation if the issue is resolved in the appeal? I believe they are waiting until that point. The court has already suggested that the flaw is not in the law but in the misdirected acts of Johnny Sutton's office in bringing the charges in the first place. You don't have to rebuild a car when you encounter an incompetent driver. We shouldn't have to write new laws to prevent the incompetent (or vindictive) acts of the U.S. Attorney's office.

However, if the issue does not resolve itself in the appeal, I have no doubt that new legislation will be forthcoming. The Senate has already heard testimony on these issues in special hearings to enable them to act quickly.

Thereafter, action should be taken to remove Sutton from office.

“Why write legislation if the issue is resolved in the appeal?”

Because legislation would be immediate, the appeal takes time plus a positive outcome on the appeal is no guaranteed. Don’t you read?

I thought you were concerned about Ramos and Compean and have been demanding their immediate release from prison?
