In Miami demonstrators who TOOK to the streets last week now EMPTIED them in protest a general strike by Cuban Americans had attempted to create a dead city.

In Washington, Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde announced plans to begin a formal inquiry, and claimed the criticism of Renos actions was coming from both Republicans and Democrats.

It comes in the face of public opinion steadfastly behind the attorney general.

I would hope that the Congress would do and pursue what THEY think is right, not necessarily what people in the country think we should or shouldnt be doing.
