.....your comments, sir, are not in context, (pro and cons of Clarence Thomas
has no bearing on the Camino!) they are inappropriate on this list  and a
crude attempt to turn US politics into a topic of discussion on a list where the
common bond is the Camino de Santiago. Please, there are forums for politics
where your political thoughts would be welcomed, but this forum is only
diminshed by your distraction.


I had a feeling that I would get something like this in response.  The
context was: complaints about US entry/visa policy being unduly harsh.  My point was
that the current administration's policies as determined by John Ashcroft and
others are totally overreaching and too restrictive.
Now to address what bothers you:  Ultra-conservative Supreme Court Appointees
like Clarence Thomas (Scalia, Rehnquist and others who may be appointed by
George W.) are likely to interpret the law in their favor.  More centrist
presidents, even liberals like Kerry, would more likely appoint less doctrinaire
judges thereby preventing unfair US immigration and visa policies.  Get it?
