No kidding, Dick Tracy. We have laws to protect people because sometimes we have leaders whose judgment we agree with, and sometimes we don't. Seeing Elian sent back to Cuba might give one sympathy for the idea that the President shouldn't have unbridled discretion to decide who stays on that island.
