...principle," says TIME legal correspondent Adam Cohen. "It's very difficult for the Miami family to win legally, because they're arguing that the political situation in Cuba makes it wrong to send Elian back even if that is his father's wish, but the family perspective tends to trump the political perspective in U.S. courts. The case is certainly uncharted territory, and could well end up in the Supreme Court for a groundbreaking decision...

Apparently, there isn't enough romanticism for Ricky, and as for Carlos, Donald Trump just doesn't measure up when compared to Hobbes and Locke. Poppycock. These are hardly viable excuses when you take into consideration that both of these kids are American.
