Stop obfuscating.

Boxer and Feinstein are not the issue, I don't care how many times you repeat that on this thread.

The issue is that ASA HUTCHINSON stopped the California border patrol from doing its job. He did NOT have to cave from pressure. Are you telling me that federal government is correct in caving to pressure to abdicate constitutionally mandated responsibilities whenever someone whines? The fact is Hutchinson CHOSE to cave. He could have held strong and upheld the rule of law.

As claimed by a highly politicized federal employee union that hates Republicans and never said BOO! about Clinton completely emasculating the Border Patrol. There is some contention here.

Are you telling me that federal government is correct in caving to pressure to abdicate constitutionally mandated responsibilities whenever someone whines?

Considering that two of the biggest whiners who jack over the Border Patrol are Boxer and Feinstein, and that you absolutely refuse to engage them on this issue...well, that's what you're actually doing.

Perhaps Hutchison didn't choose. Perhaps he was ordered.

Whatever the case, he is offering limp-wristed rationalizations for his poor job performance.

John went easy on him. Hutchison is a disgrace.

Hutchison is claiming that the priority should be the border, and posing all manner of false dilemmas between border and interior enforcement.

Earlier he was saying problem was coordination.

Hutchison should be sacked on the basis of this interview alone.
