Mr. President, Free the Border Agents (more irresponsible demagoguery from Dana Rohrabacher)
Human Events ^ | December 16, 2008 | Dana Rohrabacher

Posted on 12/17/2008 4:51:58 PM PST by EveningStar

Cut the crap, Congressman Rohrabacher. These guys are in prison because they broke the law.

Commute their sentences, yes. The mandatory sentences are too harsh.

Pardon them, no.

They broke Bush’s law. They insulted Sutton’s world. Otherwise they should have never been prosecuted for trying to keep us safe from a degenerate, illegal alien drug dealer.

They broke the law yes, but the punishment did not fit the crime. My personal opinion is that reassignment would have been in order, but that’s just me...

I agree with Congressman Rohrabacher ...laws are not important, feelings are.
I dont feel like these folks belong in jail so lets let em go.

They should have been fired, maybe, for violating procedure. They should not have been charged with a felony.

They need to be sent home now. Call it demagoguery if you want to, they should never have been put through what they’ve been put through. They aren’t the only ones Sutton has done this to.

Unfortunately, the sentence length is mandatory. :(

“These guys are in prison because they broke enforced the law.”

And stepped on some well-connected drug lord’s toes.

Get them out now! They are heroes NOT felons.

If the elitist Bush neglects to pardon them I’m out of the stupid GOP.

Hear that? No more money for stupid McCain types and any kind of Bush from this household...

Yep -- bad news to take down the favored son of the open borders crowd. Nice to know that some people here support illegals over border enforcement (not you, obviously).

This would be worthy pardon. Protecting the homeland is what he wants his ‘legacy’ to be. These guys have done way to much time for protecting us. Maybe a few months from what I’ve read would have been realistic. This sentence is ridiculous and wrong IMO.

Illegal aliens were breaking the law!

Illegal aliens are free for breaking the law..

Law enforcement officers are imprisoned for enforcing the law!

Enough is enough. I guess I’m a paleo conservative-—I sure as hell am not a NEO con. We need to shut down the borders ..NOW! To all except those who are escaping anti Christian death attacks.

Right now we are letting in the very animals who are willing to kill Christians (and sometimes Jews) and dedicated to that cause.

Since the law was enacted in 1968, the Ramos and Compean case is the only time this statute has been applied to law enforcement officers who are lawfully permitted to carry and fire their weapons in a potential deadly force situation.

You lost me there, Dana. I'd take you more seriously if you at least demonstrated that you've read the Appeals Court decision.

When Dana gets serious about changing the existing law which congress enacted then I’ll believe he’s doing something more than just grand standing.
