A Reagan appointee wrote the decision that declared that Elian Gonzalez had to return to his one living parent, his Commie father. The opinion, as I understood, began to the effect "as much as I loathe the regime of Fidel Castro"...
A few months later someone who had taken a child away from his custodial mother and taken him to Cuba where he thought that the child would be safe from American authority to return him to the USA, Fidel Castro made a decision that the child was to be returned to the custodial mother in the USA. Fidel Castro so long as he was El Maximo Lider observed all legal decisions involving child custody. One wins some and one loses some.
Those were too easy and right decisions, one by the Clinton Administration and one by Fidel Castro.
