Rep. Dana Rohrabacher reveals border passing documents kept from the Ramos and Compean jury.Follow this link to the original source: "Glenn Beck Transcripts"
COMMENTARY:
On the July 25, 2007, Glenn Beck Show on CNN Headline News, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher revealed documents he received that the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. attorney's office tried hard to keep him from having. The documents show the number of border passes given to Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, the drug smuggler in the Ramos and Compean Border Patrol agents case and when the passes were issued.
The documents point out that two drug deals had taken place when Mr. Davila used his border passes. The second time he was issued his pass, the Department of Justice had already been notified by the DEA that he had been involved in a drug shipment, but the pass was still issued to him. Rep. Rohrabacher contends that this evidence and more about the star prosecution witness had been kept from the jury, which resulted in Agents Ramos and Compean being found guilty and sentenced to jail.
The Congressman also claims he contacted the White House and tried to defuse the situation by asking the President to ask the judge to let the wrongly convicted agents out on bail or bond, pending their appeal. The White House initially told him that it was a "great idea," but the next day the White House issued a press release stating they were opposed to letting them out on bail and never followed up with the congressman.
Sam Antonio, National Immigration Spokesman for the John Birch Society, was also a guest on the July 25th show. Mr. Antonio pointed to the case to a general demoralizing of the very thinly spread U.S. Border Patrol and linked the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) President Bush had agreed to with Canada and Mexico in 2005 as the reason why the southern border is not being enforced. According to Mr. Antonio, Mexico's participation in the SPP is permitting it to influence U.S. border enforcement.
Of course, President Bush commuted Scooter Libby's sentence because he thought the 30-month jail sentence was "excessive." Weigh that against two Border Patrol agents doing their job and getting into a paperwork SNAFU that costs them 11 to 12 years of their lives.
Even Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein and Republican Senator John Cornyn of the Senate Judiciary Committee consider this excessive ... shouldn't the President?

Mikal Watts Spells Bad News for Cornyn
boadicea, The Democratic Part I agree needs to be redefined But not farther to the Left. We need to engulf and engage the average citizen. Litmus test on abortion is not a defining element of a Democrat. Maybe for a progressive. The Voting Record can only tell us how they voted it give us no insight on why. Many times you need to barter and trade out according to priorities. In the Case of Cornyn look at his interaction with Solomon Ortiz Sr and the non voting record of Ortiz. Ortiz influences from underneath and he works with infamous Carpet Baggers like Randy & Tom Delay, Cornyn, not Kay Bailey. The reason we call em Carpet Baggers is by calling them by their legitimate name is promoting in nature.
Right now we need to work together to include the Progressive within the Party but when it comes to Democratic Policy we need to present reasonable parameters. Who cares if I kicked the incumbent or a candidate who is going to win, if I kick him a grand or two. I am donating to him for his consideration and his ear. That does not mean I dictate policy to him but that he will give me the chance to convince him to adopt some or none of what I believe in.
Watt are your top three issues when choosing a candidate in the Democratic primary.

A Civil Action in the Making?

A Civil Action in the Making?
Why must we flex our muscles?
Nueces County, CCISD, 105th Judicial District Attorney; how many kids were locked up without an attorney?
- There is no excuse for violating the basic human rights afforded under the United States Constitution.
- How many kids were locked up by a court of nonrecord?
- Not even with a parent's consent unless the parent has been given the opportunity to consult with counsel.
- How many children taken into custody were advised of their Miranda Rights?
- Oh yeah, Plaisted and every CCISD kid for whom, he provided service
What do we want?
Go do some homework, we want responsive representation with transparent operation.
We want to not be railroaded for tardies or for absences when the District does not practice due diligence in interdicting but is very diligent in recording the events and adamantly prosecutes and collects half of the fine. When the people cant pay the kids are picked up from class and taken in handcuffs to the court of nonrecord. The Parent is contacted and ordered to appear immediately. When the Parent arrives he or she is told to pay or your kid goes to jail and sometimes the parent is threatened and / or locked up as well. I have never seen a kid who has been provided counsel but I have witnessed many a kid go to jail.
And this from non responsive legislators who have enabled the School Administration to blame the parent when they allow children in their custody to roam at large unaccounted for and the District in coordination with the Courts of non record get paid (profit) from it.

"Court Appointed Rolodex's". Nanotechnology and "Confessing Error" in a dog and pony show who operate like they are in a Kangaroo Court.
Nanotechnology at work right before our eyes finally an acknowledgment of what has been going on for quite a while now. The information in those "Court Appointed Rolodex's", there is gold in them hills. And this is going to start becoming available when? and for who? We have came to a narrowing of the road here in this alligning of energy fields. I can see it now we got Mikal who who is the adversary of my adversary John Cornyn. We also have the Honorable Judge Manuel Banales who needs to align with Mr Watts and vice versa. Does he want run for mayor unopposed? I would rather see him correct the errors and run for Governor or Ascend to the Texas Supreme Court. Now, John Cornyn has "Confessed Error" and I assure you it wasn't out of fairness but in the essence of knocking the checkers off of the Table because he was going to lose. And Carlos Valdez & John Hubert "Confess Error" on appeal from the 105th. Hubert & Valdez "confess error" so they can conceal Mary Cano. And that is as painless as it gets.

CCCT Political PulseMikal Watts seeks to round up list of Democrats for self, others
By Jaime PowellA Monday noontime fundraiser at Vietnam restaurant for U.S. Senate hopeful Mikal Watts was a who's who of the local bar association and judiciary, including five district judges. Watts, who is living in San Antonio, told the crowd that "nobody knows Mikal Watts better than Corpus Christi."
Watts, a Democrat, who is seeking the seat held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn, asked the gathering to dig through their Rolodexes and e-mail address lists because he hopes to compile a statewide database to reach Democratic voters that can be used by all Texas Democrats.
"That way, when Judge (J. Manuel) Bañales runs for mayor he can use it," Watts joked, to uproarious laughter from the crowd and a big grin from Bañales, who was sitting on the front row.

Cornyn wasn’t counting on a spending contest. With a united effort we will attract the Democratic Right & the Republican Left. The aggressive Progressives will need to moderate a bit in order for it to happen. Even when we go after Cornyn, we need to be reasonable. Quit calling them Republicans, they are carpet baggers. We don’t need to over exaggerate their faults and go on and on. Just point out the facts. To say it with a severely postured rhetoric accomplishes not a thing except it compromises credibility and objectivity and those attributes we need to solidly establish to overrun this Carpet Bagger Machine. The Carpet Baggers are over compensating as well. We accomplish nothing by being disingenuous, it is time to trim down where we take issue to our strongest points and make it where we dont sound the alarm everytime a Carpet Bagger druels on himself. Right now both sides are making a lot of chatter accomplishing nothing. Chose your battles to be the most important and influential battles that we can win in the eyes of the average citizen seated at the middle right. Quit harping about the religious and far right and let’s sell them WATT we believe in within reason. When we speak make it short and if they dont agree move on. Let get our Candidates to make a contract with the people of Texas. A Carpet Bagger is incapable of this kind of commitment.
Our strengths and we exploit their weaknesses.
