Ramos and Compean to get out?

Ramos and Compean

Representative Ted Poe, R-Texas, sponsored an amendment that was co-sponsored by Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., aimed at prohibiting the federal government from spending any federal funds to keep Ramos and Compean imprisoned.

As WND reported, the amendment had first been proposed by Tancredo.

It was attached to H.R. 3093, the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2008.

The amendment, which passed the House by an overwhelming bipartisan voice vote, is designed to be a "get-out-of-jail now" maneuver forcing the Bureau of Prisons to release the two agents.

"This amendment represents a novel concept," Poe told WND. "But the House had a lively, emotional, and intense debate on the floor and the more the debate proceeded the more I'm convinced we are winning a lot of people over."

"Agents Ramos and Compean, serving 11- and 12-year prison sentences for wounding a drug smuggler running more than 750 pounds of marijuana across the border, have now spent more than six months in federal custody," Hunter said in a press release. "The conviction of these agents represents the most severe injustice I have ever seen and, without question, qualifies for a presidential pardon."

H.R. 3093 is currently being debated in the House, with a final vote expected to be taken this week.

Apparently the message boards got hacked into or something. Hopefully they will have it fixed soon.

This was an unjust prosecution from the beginning. Hope they get out very soon.

If Bush had any brains or love for our country, he would pardon them. But he loves Mexico more than us.
