#034;I tell you, Mr. President, if these men -- especially after this assault -- are murdered in prison, or if one of them lose their lives, there's going to be some sort of impeachment talk in Capitol Hill," he said during a press conference in Washington, D.C. (Listen to Audio)

WTF???

[Regulator]

Ramos was circulated back into the general prison population after being initially segregated

Which means he was put in solitary confinement.

So he's supposed to spend 10 years in solitary because the federal prison system can't figure out how to prevent him from being murdered by the real criminals around him?

[Alissa]

I'd also add that if the drug smuggler, Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, harms one American CITIZEN in anyway, there should be retribution to pay. I read that this Sutton DA is a close friend of Bush.

[uptoolate]

Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), who was not in attendance, issued a statement saying the government "continues to be on the wrong side of the border war."

Ya Think?

[jveritas]

I cannot believe what I am reading. A Republican congressman wants to impeach a Republican President in times of war because he is faulting the President for someone being beaten in jail? Even the left wing loons did not come up with such impeachment lunatic idea yet.

[Mark Felton]

Absolutely! Pres Bush should already be under impeachment for failure to execute his sworn duties as President of the United States to protect and defend the borders of this great nation.

Bush has DELIBERATELY kept the borders open. Everything he has done has been to try to quell the uprising.

Just today we have learned that he has requested several $$ Billion more for the reconstruction of Iraq infrastructure, bridges, schools, water systems, roadways. he has increased the funding by billions for Section 8 housing.

And the budget to build the 700 mile border fence has been cut back drastically!! It cannot be built now (but for small sections).

Bush promised the fence as an election time empty promise to pacify the outrage.

IMPEACH NOW!

[alicewonders]

I can't believe my President - the man I worked so hard to get in office - who I deeply believed in - has turned such a deaf ear on this issue.

Yet, he is favoring policies that will, in essence, grant amnesty to illegal aliens.

WTF???

[Stars&StripesNE]

Rohrabacher has a good point, however he is carrying it too far by mentioning impeachment. That being said, Bush's behavior on this matter is disgraceful!! As is the conduct of the prosecutor who brought charges against the two agents.

It's a sorry darn state of affairs when an illegal Mexican drug smuggler is given priority over border agents doing their job. Rome is burning.

[montag813]

Why make the leap to suggest if one is killed the President should be impeached?

They should impeach Alberto Gonzales NOW! Why wait? Gonzales is absolutely despicable, easily the worst A.G. in U.S. history. Besides, impeaching him would do him a favor. Then he could move to Mexico City and have a shorter commute to pick up his paychecks.

[red meat conservative]

I'm glad to see that Marsha Blackburn joined in. She is one of my favorites. She is also supporting Romney for President, which means that she is confident of his position on the border.

[DCPatriot]

Dana, Dana, Dana...

...as Rosanne RosannaDanna would say....."It's always somethin'!"

[David Isaac]

To all those who voted in 2000 and 2004 (actually several elections before that): NOW you truly no the meaning of screwed if you don't and screwed if you do.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

"President Bush issues 16 pardons, one to campaign donor"
12/22/06

"In the pardons issued by the president, 7 of 16 involved drug or alcohol-related offenses. Others included a variety of fraud, kickback, and conspiracy charges."

People can rape women or murder little kids and expect just a few years in jail. A hundred and fifty years ago you would not see the next morning if you did that. Conversely, a hundred and fifty years ago shooting foreign invaders from Mexico made men like Zachary Taylor heroes. Today they would get 12 years in prison.

[WesternPacific]

Border security or the lack of border security is the one issue that could get enough support from the conservative base to make impeachment a possibility. If one or both of the Border Patrol agents should be seriously harmed or killed in prison, conservatives will support impeachment and the demos will gladly jump on the bandwagon.

This president needs to LISTEN and ACT.

[Grut]

What's wrong with impeaching the president? He's our employee, not our boss, and if he can't or won't do the job we hired him to do he should be fired.

[From One - Many]

It is coming to the point where battle-lines are being drawn.
One has to decide if one is on the side of Americans or if one is on the side of illegals and mexico.
I choose America and Americans.

[FreePaul]

Any talk of impeachment in this matter is a direct result of The President and his administration deliberately flaunting laws regarding illegal immigration and drug traffic. Impeachment hearings may be the only way to get to the bottom of who is responsible for this and why they have taken this position.

We know that any attempt to enforce restrictions against illegal entry across the southern border is opposed by this administration. The people doing this are in violation of their oath of office as well as the law. Anyone who has a suggestion as to how to solve this problem without impeachment should speak up now.

[Leatherneck_MT]

"Rohrabacher said he does not believe the agents received a fair trail, and he noted that three of the jurors said afterwards they were inclined to deliver a not guilty verdict but had been told by the jury foreman that the judge wanted them to "go along with majority.""

Maybe it's just me, but if some Jury Foreman had told me that, I would have had 2 responses. Neither one of them would he have cared to hear.

Being on a Jury is the most important duty that a person can do. Why are people so damned stupid about it.

[layman]

This situation smells like corruption. The van contained 743 pounds of grass with a street value of at least 1.2 million dollars. If I were a corrupt official trying to send a message to border guards to turn a blind eye to drug smugglers, I would make an example out of a few of them.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I always have to laugh at these so-called news stories when they say "public outrage".

Maybe the public SHOULD be outraged, but right now the public is clueless about this, and knows a LOT more about the crazy astronaut lady than about these two men, the case, or the supposed furor sweeping the nation about it.

As to impeachment, it's sad to see that the moon is making some on the right a bit batty as well.

Maybe Dana should just challenge the President to a duel and get it over with.
