The Court says that the rogue administration is abusing its power:

The panel was critical of Immigration and Naturalization Service's handling of the boy's asylum request.

"Not only does it appear that plaintiff might be entitled to apply personally for asylum, it appears that he did so. According to the record, plaintiff - although a young child - has expressed a wish that he not be returned to Cuba."

"It appears that never have INS officials attempted to interview plaintiff about his own wishes," the judges wrote. "It is not clear that the INS, in finding plaintiff's father to be the only proper representative, considered all of the relevant factors ? particularly the child's separate and independent interests in seeking asylum."

The hint is that the Court may save Elian from the political machinations of Clinton, Reno and Fidel.
