As comedian Ron White says, “Other states are debating whether to out-law the death penalty - my state is putting in an express lane.”

Adolfo Peña, father of Elizabeth, a 16-year-old girl Medellin also raped and murdered, concurred with Ertman.

I can't imagine the grief this guy has gone through...but I like the way he put this!

When they’ve completed the execution, the remains shouwl be put in a box, shipped to The Hague, and taken to the steps of the “World Court”. The carcass should then be dumped on those steps and left for the “Court” to dispose of.

This business belongs in the state of Texas. The people of the state of Texas support the execution. We thank them. The rest of them can go to h-ll.

AMEN to that Dad, I Roger every bit of that.

As Judge Roy Bean said, west of the Pecos, "Some folks need killin'".

Medellin fits that bill to a tee and it is just a shame he was not done in before the animal raped and killed these two young girls.

The Governor has it right too..."The world court has no standing in Texas, and Texas is not bound by a ruling or edict from a foreign court."

Way to go Texas, my native home!

Let me get this straight...Mexico instructs millions of its citizens to invade the US, take American jobs, strain our schools/hospitals/jails/clinics and then send TENS OF BILLIONS back to their country to keep its economy going...killing over 4,000 US citizens per year...then these wonderful imports commit serious crimes and are on death row for FIRST DEGREE MURDER...and Mexico wants them to remain in US jails for life on our dime (what’s new) vs. facing their death US sentences...

Wow. I guess they really want it both ways...

Deport now, there is no choice.

I love Texans. They say what we're all thinking. Doesn't matter whether it's the death penalty, criminal actions against our soldiers, or any other issue, "the world court don't mean diddly."

international law expert Sarah Cleveland warned if the U.S. ignores the U.N. court order, many other countries may follow its example. "...When a global leader like the U.S. refuses to comply with its clear international legal obligations (and everyone agrees that this is a clear legal obligation), it undermines the willingness of other states to comply with their own obligations and it inspires them not to trust us to obey ours."

Oh, really? "Everyone agrees that this is a clear legal obligation"? Who's "everyone," Sarah? Anyone other than your own lib looney pals? Or is this just the UN anti-American "everyone"?

Since when did anyone agree that we have a responsibility to follow the rulings of this foreign court?

We're not even signers to the treaty that created it.

Thankfully, the World Court has no jurisdiction over American Courts.....yet...

It is frightening to think that as a presidential candidate, Barack Obama has mentioned his willingness on many occassions to entertain the desires of foreign powers and allow other nations to directly influence his policy and the direction of our nation. This attitude is not limited to Obama however but has been expressed many times particularly on the Democrat side of the aisle.

I am reminded of Pres. Washington's warnings to his fellow citizens upon relinquishing his presidency namely his warning regarding political parties and their weaknesses. His remarks prove to be rather prescient in light of today's attitudes being pushed by the Democrats and the press.

Here is just a small relevant portion of that speech:

Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

It
(Here Pres. Washinton is referring to the problem with political parties in general) serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.

We as Americans need to take heed, remember such warnings, and be prepared to jealously protect our sovereignty instead of relinquishing it without so much as a wimper.

We have our own courts. Don't much care what the World Court thinks around here. The sister of one of the victims was on our local news (Waco) last night . It's time to bring this to an end.

According to prison records, 16-year-old Maria Zuniga was looking after two young nephews at her family's home in Waco when Ibarra attacked and killed her...Two months later, he was convicted of sexual assault in an incident involving a young nephew in Bell County and was sentenced to life. More here and look at his picture to see evil personified: http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/25506594.html

Dear Mexico,

I realize that you have problems with the death penalty in Texas, and I understand your desire to preserve the life of our citizen. However, in the future, please inform your citizens who are inclined to commit rape and murder that the penalty for such in the state of Texas is death, and that they’ll find a suite at the Hague, Netherlands, far more compatible with your country’s philosophy of protesting the death penalty.

In short, simple English, emigrate to the Netherlands. I don’t care if your citizens do it legally or illegally. That’s a problem for the Dutch. But if your citizens are going to come to our country they better behave because we aren’t as “civilized” as the Dutch when it comes to punishing rapists and murderers.

Now, I don’t live in Texas, but I wish I did.

Kind regards,
Coconutt2000

Ms Cleveland appear to be a little dense on the issue. If "everyone" agreed on the clarity of that legal "obligation" we'd hardly be having this conversation, now would we?

Other states may trust us to obey our obligations to our own citizens by enforcing laws intended to protect them. Those include the death penalty for murder. Imaginary obligations to some international body to conform our justice system to their precepts come in a distant second place.

Liberals are always on the side of the wicked, pretending to be nicer than God. The thief on the cross was alot smarter than they are! He admitted he belonged there, and that Jesus didn’t. He sided with Good.

Which is why he is in Paradise and they are going to be damned.

The highest U.N. court insisted that five scheduled executions of Mexicans be immediately halted until the cases undergo further review.
