I don't think that Hannity will be upset, he's in denial about this government doing anything wrong.

I've seen O'Reily softening up in the last 5 months.

It didn't take the pro-invasion forces long to gobble up on this:

1. COMMENT

The Mills Of God

Two events of note occurred today.

In the first event, US v. Ramos (No. 06-51489, 5th Circuit, July
28, 200, better known as the Ramos and Compean case, the 5th
circuit put the kibosh on efforts by the anti-immigrationists to
defend criminals in the uniform of the Border Patrol (the
convicted Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean had argued that
they had shot at a fleeing drug smuggler in self defense). The
court said "Although disputed, the evidence, taken in the light
most favorable to the jury verdict, supports the scenario that
[a drug smuggler] fled toward the Mexican border after Compean
took a swing at him with his shotgun and that, while he was in
flight, the defendants without provocation fired their weapons at
him several times." The court noted that "The jury was the fact-
finder. The jury heard all of the evidence. The jury returned the
verdict. The jury did not believe the Border Patrol agents. It
convicted them. The government's evidence, if believed, is
sufficient to uphold the convictions. And that is pretty close to
the bottom line on guilt or innocence of these agents."

The rule of law has been upheld by the 5th circuit. All those who
propound the rule of law should rally behind the court's order.
Since the anti-immigrationists repeatedly and loudly proclaim
their support for law and order, one would expect them to support
the 5th circuit's action. However, as we have long argued, the
anti-immigrationists purported support for law and order is only
a fig leaf for their real motivation. Their real motivation is,
and has always been, bigotry. In the eyes of the anti-
immigrationists, when bigotry clashes with law, the law must
yield. We will therefore not be surprised if they attack the 5th
circuit's order. The anti-immigrationists do not trust trials by
jury, they would much prefer trial by diktat. However, today, in
the 5th circuit, the antis lost their case.

Our Nation now sucks a big one . Face Reality , They telling you nothing is going to be done for Citizens . This is a decision by Corporate American for their cheap labor and free flow of illegal drugs . This is pure Corruption all the way to the top. Nothing legal bout this ruling
I'm mad , I'm GD mad
Dubya , his "Cartel" . obama-snob and McAmnesty !! What a joke . Their killing us

This whole thing terrifies me. The lawlessness of our own government is scary....Things like this happen in places like China, the Mid East and the old Soviet Union and in some South American countries...But it shouldn't be happening in the USA. This isn't the America I grew up in and that I'm proud of.
