Arizona Rep. Ben Quayle (R-CD3) had five minutes yesterday to question former Arizona Governor and current Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. He stated that the Administration's prosecutorial discretion when it comes to immigration laws "completely and totally destroys the constitutional framework of our country of separate but co-equal branches of government."
Quayle did not give Napolitano a chance to respond because he was nearly out of his allotted five minutes, but Napolitano had noted that discretion has always needed to be exercised because no U.S. Attorney is able to enforce every violation of every federal law.
