John and Ken are local broadcasters and they generally stick to problems that have a local effect. I know that John hates Boxer and has called her every name in the book over the last 12 years. But right now the issue is illegal aliens in southern California. The Senators can't do anything about it because the laws are on the books already. The problem is that Bush and his administration are too chicken to enforce the law.
So John and Ken are going against those with the power to change things. Right now the person with that power is Isa Hutchison. If Boxer were in the position to enforce the law, these guys would be on her like white on rice.
DHS told KFI they were not welcome at Homeland Security press conferences....
>>>Then how come they aren't taking either Feinstein or Boxer to task, since they are medding in Homeland Security.
Well, the laws are on the books already, yes, and it's the admin's job to enforce them. But it doesn't follow that "the Senators can't do anything." Hooo boy is THAT ever not true. Even one Senator, let alone two acting in concert, can get a hearing going, get press attention focused on an issue, marshal staff, get phone calls answered (by Hutchison, among others), etc. Even the dumbest of Senators (.... Barbara, I'm looking in your direction) can do all of these things to help "encourage" the administration to "re-order its enforcement priorities." Heh. And I wish Di and Barb would do so ... and that John & Ken would harangue them if they don't.
BINGO. Give this man a cigar!
