Would a FOIA request determine if any communication happened between the White House and the US attorney on Sullivan’s behalf?

I think the real issue is why we even let Andrew Sullivan into the country.

What the hell do we need an HIV infected, “barebacking”, pot-smoking, Brit b.s. artist for?

I’d much rather grant citizenship to a married-with-children, hard-working, Mexican vegetable picker than have this loser here, stinking up the joint.

Post 38:
An illegal alien smoking pot in the street is no different than a citizen smoking pot in the street. Would an illegal be deported for such an offense? It is doubtful. Perhaps an arrest and a day in jail maybe. That could happen to a person trying to break into their own home. Is it worth the time effort and taxpayer money? No, but if you want go after Sullivan full tilt on this charge you had better go after ALL pot smokers in the same manner for legal or illegal immigrants or US citizens for that matter. Let’s build more jails then to incarcerate all pot smokers just to satisfy those who didn’t receive preferential treatment. Sullivan’s treatment here is not all that irregular. You’re overreacting.

“It would seem the US Attorney is abusing his power for partisan purposes . . . ”

How’s that feel? Me, I can’t recall.

If Sarah Palin or any of her family members had been busted for a marijuana charge, we know how Andrew Sullivan would have reacted. And if the charge had been dismissed with this kind of justification? The heavens would have been rent with his outrage.

I am a naturalized citizen who went through the long and painful immigration process. From what I have read, Andrew Sullivan has a green card already, which means that the only meaningful “unspecified immigration benefit” that he is seeking is likely naturalization – his admission into US citizenship.

I wonder if he will truthfully answer question 10. D. 16. on the N-400 form, which asks:

Have you ever been arrested, cited, or detained by any law enforcement officer … for any reason?

Considering the amount of slander and lies that Andrew has leveled at his political opponents and even neutral persons, I somehow doubt it. The title of part D. is Good Moral Character. How many people think that Andrew Sullivan has Good Moral Character?

It’s all for the good because what the USA needs is another pothead. Everyone knows how rilly rilly smart pot makes you.

I’m surprised President Obama hasn’t invited the judge and Sullivan to the White House Rose Garden for some of that “bong diplomacy” he’s famous for- this is a great opportunity for a teaching moment: the judge, Sullivan, Obama, and maybe Jerry Garcia’s corpse instead of Joe Biden this time, can share a bowl and hash out their differences.
