Lou Dobbs Tonight
Tuesday, March 27, 2007

Join Lou tonight at 6 p.m. E.T, and again at 8 p.m. E.T. for a
primetime special report, "Border Betrayal." We'll be live in
Yazoo City, Mississippi, uncovering the truth behind the
prosecution and incarceration of former Border Patrol agents
Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. We'll have exclusive interviews
with the man who was their boss, Luis Barker, and Lou will take
on U.S. attorney, Johnny Sutton, who prosecuted the agents.

Tonight, Controversy over a top aide to Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales - Goodling says she’ll invoke her
constitutional right to refuse to testify before a Senate panel
on the firings of 8 U.S. attorneys.

The House Homeland Security Subcommittee is holding hearings
today on the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws and President
Bush’s proposal for a controversial guest worker program. We’ll
have a full report.

More and more states are calling for the repeal of a federal
law requiring states to adopt national guidelines for
administering driver’s licenses. The Real ID Act of 2005 was
passed to ensure the security of America’s driver’s licenses.
But the bill has come under fire from 28 states so far who
argue that it’s simply too costly to implement. We’ll have a
full report.

The United States is the world’s largest consumer of both legal
and illegal drugs. Americans have a pill in their medicine
cabinet for everything these days. They have one little pill to
fight depression, another to control their appetite, calm their
children, and even one for a good night’s sleep. And those are
just the legal drugs. Americans also consume $65 billion
dollars worth of illicit drugs each year. That’s four times
what we spend on gear to send our kids back to school. We’ll
have a special report tonight on the drug dependency of our
nation.

While middle class Americans are struggling to make ends meet,
the head of the federally funded Smithsonian Institute has been
living high on our tax dollars. Lawrence Small, the head of the
world’s largest museum, resigned over the weekend after the
Senate threatened to have his colossal salary cut. The U.S.
Senate voted to freeze the Smithsonian’s $17 million budget
increase unless the museum’s board slashed Small’s salary down
to $400,000. That’s the same salary as the President of the
United States. Lawrence was making as much as $885,000 last
year and had accrued nearly $2 million in expenses. We’ll have
a full report.

That's the first time I've gotten a look at Johnny Sutton.


I got 3 words for ya.


Lunch-money victim!

I loved the way he tried to skirt Lou when asked if orders to prosecute came from Washington?

And when Lou asked why the second drug smuggling offense wasn't presented during trial. Benedict said the judge ruled against it. (Lou pointed out it was Benedict that had asked that the 2nd offense be oppressed.)

I hope there's a transcript.
