A federal District Court Judge has ruled that the privacy rights of illegal aliens convicted of heinous crimes in this country are more important than the public’s right to know if the government is properly enforcing a key immigration law.
Amazing as the ruling itself may be, what is even more stunning is the fact that U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Richard J. Leon was affirming the Bush administration’s position in the case. President Bush nominated Leon in 2001 and the Senate confirmed him in February 2002.
It's not stunning to me at all. It's part of a pattern I have come to expect. Just like with another one of Bush's nominees, Reggie Walton, who ruled the Second Amendment a collective, rather than an individual right.
Which brings to mind a favorite quote by a pal of mine:
We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.--Steiger
