And shame on those who would use legal sophistry to defend and justify armed government thugs breaking in the door of an Americans home and pointed a rifle at the head of a little child! Shame indeed! The courtroom (in a place of reverence and calm) is where a child's custodial fate should be decided in America. Not behind a wall of rifle toting, bullet proof trained soldiers. Here's a brilliant exchange from one of the justice departments top legal hit men. ---------------------------------------------------------- newsmax.com Andrew Napolitano, legal analyst for Fox News and a constitutional scholar had this exchange today on Fox with Eric Holder, Reno's second in command at Justice: Napolitano: Tell me, Mr. Holder, why did you not get a court order authorizing you to go in and get the boy? Holder: Because we didn't need a court order. INS can do this on its own. Napolitano: You know that a court order would have given you the cloak of respectability to have seized the boy. Holder: We didn't need an order. Napolitano: Then why did you ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for such an order if you didn't need one? Holder: [Silence] Napolitano: The fact is, for the first time in history, you have taken a child from his residence at gunpoint to enforce your custody position, even though you did not have an order authorizing it. ----------------------------------------------------------- Future President George W. Bush said it best in this quote. "Ours is a nation of laws, not guns. Custody disputes are resolved in the calm of a courtroom, not in the terror of middle-of-the-night raids," Michael p.s. I was surprised to see a post from you and very reluctant to respond to it. I hope if you plan on debating me, you've learned your lesson and will now quote me accurately.

Questions: 1. What law did the Cuban relatives in Miami break? Answer: None 2. Should a United States government organization be able to break into your home, aim rifles at your head and take the children from your home kicking and screaming without a court order, or without any suspected illegal activity taking place? Answer: No. The only question now left is; will the Clinton administration break the law and fly the boy to Cuba before he has an opportunity to argue for his political asylum in court. Michael
