“I see nothing wrong with Huckabee saying that the case is suspect.”

But that isn’t all he said. He said when he is Prez he would REVIEW the case. That means he hasn’t reviewed it to date. He then goes on to say R&C would be home by Valentines Day ‘09.

Hello? He is already declaring R&C innocent and he hasn’t even reviewed the case? If you don’t believe this is pandering to the crowd then there is no hope.

“Oh and by the way-—I see nothing wrong with shooting an invader who is trying to get away.”

The Constitution may disagree with you.

“I see nothing wrong with the burden of proof placed on the invader...”

Uhh, the “burden of proof” was on the prosecutors and the burden of proving them innocent on the defense. It’s how our system of justice works. In this case, 12 jurors sided with the prosecution and rejected the arguments of the defense. That’s how our system works in action. Other than that I have no idea what you mean here.

“...not the guys who struggle out there on that border...with their hands tied because GOD FORBID some drug dealer/child molester ad nauseum has his “rights” violated.”

But that’s the crux of the issue here, isn’t it? neither Ramos nor Compean knew at the time that OAD was a drug smuggler, they didn’t even know if he as an illegal or a US citizen, they just drew their weapons and started firing at an unarmed fleeing SUSPECT. Now if you believe we should allow all LEO’s to just fire their weapons to kill people they SUSPECT of a crime, any crime, say so. But I’m not sure you would like the results.

“...and that there are some using sophistry to deny them their freedom.”

This has to be your funniest statement to date. Unlike 99% of R&C “pardon” supporters, I read the transcripts. Every comment I make is based on facts, evidence and the testimony at trial. On the other hand you have people who have never bothered to read the facts, get all their info from Jerry Corsi and World Nut Daily...and think they are enlightened.

It’s not enlightened, it’s lazy.

The system didn’t work. The legal world is replete with lawyers trying to make a name and money for themeselves at the expense of justice.

By the way the Constitution says nothing about shooting or not shooting an invader.

The agents should be released immediately and the fact that they haven’t; speaks volumes for this lame President.
