Conservative Libertarian Outpost

This week, a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee attempted to investigate whether the Mexican government was involved in the prosecution of former U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, who were sentenced to prison for shooting drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila in the buttocks. The panel’s attempts were mitigated when Justice Department and Homeland Security officials declined to appear for the hearing. State Department official Charles Shapiro did appear and testified that there was no documentation to indicate that Mexico influenced the Ramos-Compean prosecution.

However, under grilling from Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Shapiro admitted that the State Department would not know whether Mexico had contacted other U.S. departments regarding the matter. Shapiro stated he was unaware of previous communication that occurred between U.S. Attorney John Sutton’s office and the Mexican government in other border matters, including the similar case of Texas Sheriff’s Deputy Guillermo Hernandez, in which Mexican officials wrote letters to Sutton’s office requesting prosecution.

The panel plans to hold another hearing and call on Sutton and his staff to testify in the matter. If you have not already done so, please join the nearly 64,000 Patriots who have already signed our petition, Free the Texas Three and Secure Our Borders.

Alright, as any that read my posts here as well as elsewhere, I am very much against making thugs into millionaires. Also known as “The Drug War.” This bovine feces of tossing our sworn Law Enforcement Officers into prison for doing precisely what the hell we pay them to do is ridiculous.

The truly larger issue here though is the law that was applied, as in mandatory sentencing for so-called “gun crimes.” I warned that this would happen. I warned the NRA. I warned the POA, and I sounded the alarm through letters to the editor that were published. This is the kind of crap that happens when you use the United States Constitution as toilet paper.

Figure it out folks; Ex Post Facto Law, the taking of Inalienable Rights for less than felonies, sexist law enforcement based upon political correctness are all immoral.
