Exactly. It is ironic that the same group of Scalia conservatives, who believe in strict construction of the Constitution, would stand behind that tenuous decision. Since what period in American jurisprudence have 6 years olds been given the power to decide anything over the wishes of a fit parent? A 6 year old can't even sign an enforceable contract, how can one make a decision about where to live? Purely political. And look who suffers, a little kid. How 's sad is that. To them it's all about preventing Clinton's "legacy". To the Exiles it's about screwing Castro. America has witnessed few fiascoes more embarrassing .

>>Keep in mind it's an election year. I am sure that much of this stupidity is due to that factor. Had it been any other year the Feds would have moved in long ago. That's about the only intelligent thing you have said so far. There has been great certitude among the Send-Elian-home crowd about the clarity of the law in this case; everyone should consider themselves lucky the 11th Circuit issued its opinion of what the law requires here. Otherwise the Clinton Administration's cops would have grabbed Elian and stuffed him onto a plane for Havana with Fidel's thugs and their other prisoner, Juan Miguel Gonzalez. Good thing that politics restrained the thugs until the Courts could act.
