We believe we should prosecute gun cases. We think there is too much violence in America. and drugs and gangs are out there killing people and doing all these things. and our policy is to prosecute drug cases. What about immigration cases? Nobody else will prosecute an immigration case. One U.S. attorney had a lax record because she did not prosecute those cases to the level of other similar districts and was criticized for it by a lot of people. Lets say there was a vacancy. and under S. 214 the Senate majority now refused to confirm a Bush appointment to that district and the judge appoints somebody who agrees with him who wouldnt prosecute immigration cases or gun cases or drug cases. and they could be in there permanently. This idea that the Executive Branch. or President. can abuse the system is as true and possible as the idea that a judge can abuse the system. If the President does it. at least we in this Congress have a vote. and the American people have a right to vote on a President.
