Take that, Jorge W.!

Kudos to Tancredo and Hunter for pushing this thing.

[gcruse]

The burning question is, “What color ink will Jorge use to veto the bill carrying a freedom rider for the border agents?”

[pollywog]

double Kudos to Tancredo and Hunter!!!

The Administration (and it’s good buddy attorney) refuses to act;

So, the people’s representatives take it upon themselves to act.

Democracy at work.

[pax_et_bonum]

Good.

bttt

[pissant]

It’s a shame it has to come to this, frankly.

Turn on Glenn Beck at 12 am EST. Dana Rohrbacker is on with some incredible info that sounds like it was accidentally disclosed. Apparently the feds gave the drug smuggler free reign to keep entering the country even after he smuggled in the second load of drugs.

yeah. It’s nice to know we have some representatives who still give a damn.

[pissant]

There are still a few good ones out there.

[freespirited]

I didnt catch his speech but there is more here—from a radio interview he did with Glenn earlier today:

DITTO: Kudos to Tancredo and Hunter for pushing this thing.

Democrats such as Alan Mollohan of West Virginia opposed the attempt to free the two men, arguing that it is not Congress' place to interfere in criminal cases, particularly when they are under appeal as the Ramos and Compean case it.(is)

Yet harassing the Executive's DOJ with endless subpoenas is perfectly within the Constitution. No problem, nope.

“But Democrats opted not to call for a roll call vote.”

LOL.
