When I read the warrant, it looked like an arrest warrant to me. Elian in a paroled alien, and the warrant specifically authorizes the seizure of Elian and there fore authorizes entry into the place the child is found.

It's a shame that Clinton and Reno screwed it up so badly, if what Tribe writes is accurate. SInce I know nothing about ConLaw, I can't comment intelligently. Although I still fail to see why the father legally had so few rights. If I turn it around, if I imagine strangers (even relatives) refusing to turn over my sons to me, saying they could give them more, or replace me, their mother, and a government not enforcing my parental rights, well, I get ill with anger. Personally I think that a six year old child belongs with his parent-not with relatives he's never met before and who put him on display and allow him to be used mercilessly by the press, who get him to sign documents that he couldn't possibly understand, and tape him looking like a POW. What a circus. But I also believe in law. I wonder if there was any way to consider Elian as a hostage or kidnapped or something, once the relatives refused to turn him over to his father? WOuld that change the need for warrants etc? Is Tribe's opinion just an interpretation? Are there others?
