A federal District Court Judge has ruled that the privacy rights of illegal aliens convicted of heinous crimes in this country are more important than the public’s right to know if the government is properly enforcing a key immigration law.
Amazing as the ruling itself may be, what is even more stunning is the fact that U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Richard J. Leon was affirming the Bush administration’s position in the case. President Bush nominated Leon in 2001 and the Senate confirmed him in February 2002.
It's not stunning to me at all. It's part of a pattern I have come to expect. Just like with another one of Bush's nominees, Reggie Walton, who ruled the Second Amendment a collective, rather than an individual right.
Which brings to mind a favorite quote by a pal of mine:
We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.--Steiger
I guess that pretty much ends my voting Republicrat or Demmican in the future. Problem is, I don't see any judges who actually believe the 2A means what it says, even if we get a libertarian or Constitution president.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I was disappointed in the History Channel today as it recounted the Battle of Cowpens, for it made the claim (told the lie) that the militia of the Revolution was the equivalent of the National Guard.
