"Seven Mexican-born inmates on Texas' death row lost their bid Monday to state their case before the U.S. Supreme Court, following the court's ruling last week that another Mexican-born inmate's case couldn't be reopened despite an order from President Bush."

I've been disappointed in so many things that President Bush has done, but this is one of the worst.

It is so heartbreaking that he would be on the side of such degenerates!

I'm so happy that he got this decision shoved back in his face!! I know it had to make the suffering families of the victims feel better.

That or he believes it is his job as President to do what he can to enforce our treaty obligations (which it is). It was up to the SCOTUS to decide just how much authority he had to do so, but until this case the law was fairly ambiguous hin this area.
