I mean, FDR had three full terms, and was even elected to a 4th! Why should George W. be kicked out after just eight years? I think he should be president forever!

I mean really, it's not fair. If we have a great president wouldn't we want to keep him as long as possible? Who's with me?

They acted like maniacs, like they wanted the death of Karl Rove, and Condoleeza Rice at Columbia and American Universities, screaming SO LOUD that neither guest speaker could be heard above the mike, they threw objects at them! Why are Libs so enthusiastic over a terrorist supporter's speach? Remember Libs, the Iranian leader who is speaking to you, supports Hezzbollah, and Hezzbollah is a terrorist group, who wants you dead.

After all, he was applauded when he mentioned feeling insulted, he nearly got a standing ovation from all of you. I wish our military were so respected, but you choose to violently protest against them and run THEM off campus.

Are you excited about being taught the religion of pieces in his speech? Are you going to run to the nearest mosque to embrace Islam?

For those who aren't familiar with it, after their third conviction for a crime they go away for a REALLY long time. I'm all for it, I'd cheerfully cough up the extra tax for the prisons.

Two former U.S. Border Patrol agents sentenced to lengthy prison terms for shooting a drug-smuggling suspect have asked a federal appeals court to overturn their convictions, saying they were charged with a nonexistent crime and convicted after the jury was given improper instructions by the trial judge.



Houston defense lawyer J. Mark Brewer said two counts of a grand jury indictment against former agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean charged them under a federal statute with the discharge of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, but the statute does not define a crime and contains only a sentencing factor to be addressed after conviction.



Mr. Brewer said in a 20-page motion that the "improperly-crafted indictment" misfocused the agents, counsel and jury on a nonexistent crime of unlawful discharge of a firearm, because the agents were authorized to possess, carry and use a firearm in the normal course of their job.



He said that in order to charge a crime under the government's 10-year mandatory sentence statute, an indictment "must allege that a defendant either has used or carried a firearm ... during and in relation to any crime of violence or has possessed a firearm in furtherance of such a crime." He said the prosecution "misstated" the crime defined by federal statute.



Mr. Brewer said the district court "erroneously told the jury the federal statute made it a crime for anyone to discharge a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence."



A ruling in the case is expected next month."This is an outrageous case of prosecutorial abuse," said Paul Kamenar, senior executive counsel for the Washington Legal Foundation, a watchdog group among eight organizations and persons who have filed briefs in support of the agents. "Instead of prosecuting the drug smuggler, the Justice Department filed a dozen felony charges against two agents trying to do their job."



The pending appeal is being heard by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans and seeks to overturn 11- and 12-year prison terms Ramos and Compean received, respectively, after they shot Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila in the buttocks when he abandoned a van containing 743 pounds of marijuana and fled back into Mexico.
