The Miami relatives were not law-abiding. The INS revoked Elian's parole, as it had a right to do. It decided that Elian should be handed over to Juan Miguel, as it had a right to do. The INS did not need a court warrant or even a search warrant under our current law; it got a search warrant anyway. This is the current law--if you don't care for it, lobby to change it. But don't deny it's the law--the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has refused to criticize or overturn the INS actions, and it has heard all these arguments. Why aren't they rectifying this situation? Are they all corrupt? Stupid? Paid off? No, they are following the law--the INS acted within the law, period. The Justice Department weakened the rule of law in this country by bowing to the demands of the Miami relatives that it "negotiate" with them over when and how they would obey the law. I think the wise words of Theodore Roosevelt need to be remembered here: No man is above the law, and no man below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it." Speech, 1903
