Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, made a final plea this week to President George Bush to commute the sentences of jailed U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. “Because of the excesses of the prosecution against them, they will continue to sit alone in those cells for another decade,” Cornyn wrote, according to a report in the WorldNetDaily. “That is unless President Bush commutes their unjust sentences. In his remaining days as president, I ask President Bush to show mercy and use his clemency power to give back Agents Ramos and Compean the next 10 years of their lives.”

Johnny Sutton is a Bush Buddy. Bush will never turn against a Bush Buddy who hasn’t turned against him.
Open-border RINO thugs. The Clintons and O are owned by all middle eastern money and the Bushes are owned by the Saudis and Mexico.
Maybe Coryn could have spoken up against the usurper and we could have awaken some patriotism in the cowardly politicians who ignore the Constitution.
I will be sad if he faills us on this.
I would really like to know why he hasn’t already done so....
People have made wild guesses and some pretty good guesses none of them are probably the real reason. I wish someone could channel the mind of Bush and tell us why?
I agree. If he fails to issue either a pardon or a commutation of their sentences, it will continue a grave injustice that is now his and his alone.
LOL!
He just better do it already.
Someone tell me again that GWB, for all his faults, is an “honorable” man.
When my daughter was growing up I told her very simply that if a person does not have loyalty and personal honor, that person is worthless. Measure Bush with that yardstick and tell me what you get.
That would imply that W doesn't realize what he is doing. I don't believe that to be the case. This is a deliberate and calculated course of action on his part. Motives? Take your pick. But I darn sure wouldn't want W covering my back.
What does everyone expect? Ollie north was doing exactly what the White house instructed him to legally do. They Didn’t pardon him. He almost lost him military pension.
But Bush whipped out a pardon for Scooter faster than a Wyatt Earp quick draw.

I pray for George W. Bush to have a heart of flesh instead of a heart of stone.
I am so disappointed in him. I wonder if a one term John Kerry might not have been better than a two term W.Bush.
I didn’t mean to imply the action wasn’t deliberate. Deliberate or not it was a f**k up, he made many trying to be a “compassionate” conservative and only succeeded in screwing most things up.
Bush commuted the sentence of that little pigshit Lewis Libby. Why not Compean/Ramos?
My wife thinks Obama will indeed commute their sentence, to curry more favor with the right.
I don’t think that the Mexicans will give him permission to do so.
She’d be correct.
I am surprised that Senator Cornyn (whom I supported in every general election he has been on the ballot, but not the 1998 primary for attorney general) would make such a request. He knows how stubborn GWB is and how determined GWB is to stick it to conservatives. Conservatives did not betray GWB; he betrayed conservatives!
