The prosecution of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean seems to have been orchestrated by the White House virtually from the beginning and members of the House and Senate are just now getting the details. The White House is accused of wanting to send a stern message that no guns are to be used on the Mexican border to stop illegals even if they are smugglers. The White House strategy on the case seems to have backfired and could become a scandal that mars the last two years of the Bush presidency. Conservatives are fast distancing themselves from the White House over the treatment of the Border Agents. Note to White House: Cheap labor to hold down inflation is not worth the destruction of the rule of law. Click here for "Legislators Fume"

NANCY'S JET - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded the military supply to her for her personal transporation the same type of jet used by Vice President Cheney. The request for the jet included 45 business class seats for her "supporters" and a separate sleeping area for herself. The former Republican Speaker Hastert used a ten seat jet, and former Republican Speaker Newt Gingrich used commercial flights. While congressional Republicans were outraged at the expense of $110,000 one way to take Speaker Pelosi home to San Francisco each week, the White House announced its support of the outrageous expenditure. The plane will also be used to shuttle Pelosi around the nation to help raise funds for Democrats seeking to oust Republicans from office.
