Lanny Breuer admitted to knowing about gun walking, and Breuer did nothing to stop it. I’m not a lawyer, but why can’t Arizona bring Breuer up on charges of negligent homicide or some sort of accessory? If not criminal charges, what about civil? Breuer needs to be made to talk.

Neither am I, but my guess is that's one protracted "sovereign immunity" battle that I think is worth fighting. Tenth Amendment and all that. Interestingly, the power to claim said status is not specifically enumerated in the Constitution...

I can dream, can't I?

If not criminal charges, what about civil?

Such a case can only be brought by someone with standing, (certainly Agent Terry's family has it), but I'd bet that the same said legal battle over sovereign immunity would immediately ensue. (Brewer v. Bruer anyone??? :-)

Yup. Whoever has the wherewithal should have put up the dough to get started a long time ago. I'm almost to the point of a citizens' committee with a bullwhip.
