What really struck me. and Im just sharing. this is anecdotal information. but I think this amendment and the Congress bringing this up. in my opinion. is an abuse of power. Why? Because if. indeed. and I dont know the sentencing of these border patrolmen. but I know that there is a process If these sentences are extreme. you can appeal those. We have a sentencing commission. and the courts certainly review that. And so I think there is a remedy within our justice system to appeal where the sentences are too harsh. But heres the thing thats most interesting to me. I didnt find one single member of the Border Patrol that supported these two people that had been 53. Pt. 15 July 25. 2007 arrested. who had been convicted by trial of law. So. on this floor. youre making them out as national heroes.
