There appear to be conflicting court orders in effect, as there is also a
ruling in effect that Elian can apply for asylum in his own right and that the
guardianship is valid. Or that's my understanding.

Andre Marrou. John Bergland. Ron Paul. Just to name 3...
I find the sight of Janet Reno, the Butcher of Waco, on TV with a quivering lip
emoting about how concerned she is about Elian and the "rule of law" to be the
most ludicrous thing I've seen so far this century. Her and her boss have no
respect for the rule of law except when convenient for their own ends.

Is a father who either sincerely wishes, or is under duress strong enough to
cause him to appear that he sincerely wishes, to return his child to a
communist police state necessarily fit to have custody? I would go with no. Why
do the wishes of the mother no longer carry any weight?

Now THAT is true. Hilarious how both demopublicans are trying to claim that
they never supported the current administration's actions.
