Romney could help himself by demanding that prosecution proceed post haste, as with McVeigh et al. I remember Reno filling out the appeal paperwork herself to keep the ball rolling to put Timmy on ice as soon as possible.
I certainly hope that Romney steps up to the plate but we have to keep our eyes open for the pro-CAIR dealings of Grover Norquist. He is a big fixer in the GOP and is behind such stars as Chris Christy. If you have followed Christy you will know that he appointed a muslim to a judgeship. He may be smart on money issues but he is blind on security issues.
Don’t forget that Norquist was the guy who brought CAIR into the White House to introduce to George W.
