Excerpt -
Acting on a claim by Mexico’s government that the U.S. government has not done enough to assure the treaty rights of Mexican nationals facing execution for murders in the U.S., the World Court on Wednesday ordered the U.S. — by a 7-5 vote — to stop five imminent executions in Texas.Leaving it up to the U.S. to choose the way to carry out the order, the international tribunal — formally, the International Court of Justice that sits in The Hague, Netherlands — told the U.S. only to “take all measures necessary to ensure” that Texas does not execute five individuals on its death row.
The World Court issued its order to assure that the Mexicans remain alive until the tribunal can resolve a new dispute over the global obligations of the U.S. government — a dispute that has already led to two decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Use illegals to build the scaffold.
The World Court can shove it.
The Hague - that’s the court the liberals over at DU and DK gush over. They want to send Bush there to be convicted of “war crimes”.
We owe the World Court nothing.
Stay the executions, and then stage an “accident.”
Sorry “World Court”.We have a judicial system that works just fine without your learned advice.But thanks anyway.
Well now maybe the World Kangaroo Court will send in UN troops to stop it........and Im sure fine Americans will give them a nice welcoming...........
Maybe the world court will send the world police to America to stop us.
No wait... America is the world police.
Shove it world court.
Dear World Court,
Go —— yourselves.
Best,
Richard B. Cheney

F the world, well most of it.
Texas and Texans to the World Court...GTH!
UN troops to Texas to tell them how to run their affairs?
"Behind every blade of grass is........."
Good one. The UN force without the US couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Hope Texas getter-done, box up the body bags, and send it to the UN.
The dispute is resolved to our satisfaction, the executions will go forward in a manner consistent with Texas law.
It is Mexico’s misfortune that that is not also to their satisfaction, but I suggest that they worry more about the mass slaughter of their own police officers, about which we read daily in the news, it seems.
A country which cannot maintain the rule of law within its own borders has nothing to teach us about the rule of law within ours. It’s attempts to interfere are deeply resented by decent Americans.
Not a peep from the World Court when these convicted murderers were executing their victims...
I’d be interested to read what some of our legal scholars have to say about this.
It seems to me that the World Court might have a voice if the United States were the entity that is carrying out these executions. But the entity is the State of Texas. I would think the World Court has no jurisdiction over this.
What say y’all?
No wait... America is the world police.
Shove it world court.
Didn’t Ruth Bader Ginsburg use a World Court ruling or other international ruling in one of her anti-US SCOTUS decisions not long ago?
As I've had a few drinks it's easier to state something like, I would like for them to send UN "troops" to enforce their ruling.
I would like the opportunity to defend my Nation. Probably wouldn't get a chance though, State Dept. would have issue permits via lottery and there'd be a qty limit and all.
Prolly would be reduced to poaching, tape flashlight to my 12guage, set out a feed pile (illegal aliens) and sit back and wait
I wonder how many citizens would volunteer to defend our country and be the executioner of these illegals?
And they better not forget it...
What the h*%% is the World Court and why should they be deciding anything for the US?
Guess the “world court” never heard the true saying...DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS. Guess that’s why Mexico is snivelling to them, not Texas. They found out the hard way!
Those crazy Dutch better mobilize their military forces "toot sweet."
Hmm...in retaliation I order the World Court to sign the thing with a quill pen clutched between the cheeks of their collective buttocks. And I got jurisdiction, too.
From the Catechism:
"Assuming that the guilty party’s identity and responsibility have been fully determined, the traditional teaching of the Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor.
If, however, non-lethal means are sufficient to defend and protect people’s safety from the aggressor, authority will limit itself to such means, as these are more in keeping with the concrete conditions of the common good and are more in conformity with the dignity of the human person.
Today, in fact, as a consequence of the possibilities that the state has for effectively preventing crime, by rendering one who has committed an offense incapable of doing harm—without definitively taking away from him the possibility of redeeming himself—the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity "are very rare, if not practically non-existent" (Evangelium Vitae 56)."
I would pay money to see that!
Screw the world court. These scumbags came to this country and violated our laws, not the world court’s.
You can bet that we will.
I am no Texan, but I personally know about 50 Texans.
God is the ONLY one that can tell a Texan what to do....nobody else should even try. ;>)
World Court...what a joke.
Time to serve a writ of Shut the Hell Up to the World Court.
Hmmm, thanks for the reminder, I guess.
I am a fallen away Catholic. I started to look at it again, back when the Pope was here. There are several things about the religion that has bothered me and you have reminded me of yet another. I am thinking more and more that there just isn’t a religion out there for me.
Anyway, thanks for your post.
I think the threat of escape or parole and murder again means there IS no other way to protect society except execution.
The conditions stated as a requirement for the death penalty are more common than the Catholic church would admit I think. Of course what do I know? I'm not Catholic.
Bush, of course, has traditionally taken the Mexican side, while the Supreme Court sided with Texas in Medellin.

Screw You!!
“The World Court can shove it.”
Actually, the U.S. doesn’t regard International Court for Justice (World Court) decisions as binding, which is a politer way of saying that.
We should parade these murderers out into the light of day, line them up against a wall and shoot them while high definition cameras are rolling, recording every second of the firing squad.
Then we send copies of the videos to the world court judges with a stern warning the same thing awaits anyone who makes any attempt to interfere with our sovereignty.
I know, I know, but I can at least dream our leaders are men once more...
Yeah right. Bush was origially the one who told Texas to follow the World Court's ruling and ordered Texas to review Jose Medellin's case. Thankfully the U.S. Supreme Court smacked him down.
Story:
"U.S. President George Bush directed state courts to abide by the world court's decision and specifically asked Texas to review the Medellin case.
But, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Bush couldn't compel Texas to review the situation without concurrence of the legislative branch."

If you reread the post, Beef Dip, the hypothetical letter was written by Cheney and CC'd to President Bush.
You do know that CC means "courtesy copy" or "carbon copy", right? Operative word, "COPY", not that the letter was addressed to that person?
Or were you so quick, panting to the point of soiling yourself, to tell me something that I already know, that your brain and keystrokes didn't engage properly?
If you knew it already, why are you acting like such a baby about my post?
