Bush pardons drug dealers but not the Border Agents!
This is absolutely sickening.. and what kind of message does that send to the other Border Patrol Agents trying to do THEIR jobs? The plaintiff in their case is a GUILTY Mexican drug dealer. He had the goods in his van. He was fleeing from justice. This whole charade is to placate the Mexican government and perhaps it is EVEN worse than that because the drug trade provides a lot of money to the corrupt in this country.. could it go all the way to the White House?
This makes me want to go down to the border and do some target practice. I think the one thing these Border Agents did wrong is they did not shoot to kill the drug dealer. Dead drug dealers can't sue. What an ASS BACKWARDS world we live in when a CRIMINAL can SUE Agents of our government who were enforcing the LAW for crying out loud. Not only was this guy a criminal but he wasn't even a CITIZEN!!! I am OUTRAGED and I want nothing more than to see Jorge Boosh impeached from his office .. and not a moment too soon. He is the worst President this country has had in decades and I worry about the damage he will do in the next two years. This is coming from a Republican voter who put him where he is and boy am I sorry I did. Believe me.
Here is a list of people Boosh pardoned today and in the process ignored the thousands of pleas to pardon the Border Patrol Agents:

Bush also commuted the sentence of Phillip Anthony Emmert of Washington, Iowa, whose case involved conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
Emmert was sentenced December 23, 1992, to 262 months' imprisonment (reduced on February 21, 1996) and five years' supervised release.
Bush directed that Emmert's sentence expire on this coming January 20, but left the supervised release intact.
