AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF PRESIDENT CLINTON
(Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, in my hometown, if they had found you in a
dark alley with 75 pounds of cocaine and 4 pounds of heroin in the
trunk of your car, there is a general consensus that you have done
something wrong. But a Clinton appointed judge, Judge Herold Bear, who
freed drug smugglers because he deemed it normal for suspects to run
from the police turned these drug runners free. The public outcry over
this brand of justice has been astounding, and President Clinton ought
to demand the resignation of this judge immediately.
But what bothers me most about this case is we see yet another
example where President Clinton's words do not match his actions. He
may talk like a law and order conservative, but he appoints liberal
judges who let criminals walk. If it had been up to this judge, these
cops in New York City would not have been able to arrest a woman who
was smuggling 4 million dollars' worth of drugs to Michigan, enough
drugs to push on every kid in the city's school system, push drugs on
each one of them.
America cannot afford these liberal judges and America cannot afford
another 4 years of President Clinton.
