In a six - three decision (Justices Breyer, Souter and Ginsburg dissenting) the Supreme Court held that even though the ICJ's Avena decision "constitutes an international law obligation on the part of the United States," (emphasis in original) the President lacked the requisite authority to compel States to comply with it.

Would THIS DISSENT be grounds for IMPEACHMENT FOR THESE THREE IDIOTS?

Justices Breyer, Souter and Ginsburg dissenting

President Bush's hands are not exactly "clean" on this one either.... of course he did not take any "action" to enfoce his assertion...

On 28 February 2005, after the ICJ decision but before either referenced Supreme Court decision, President Bush declared

I have determined, pursuant to the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the United States will discharge its international obligations under the decision of the International Court of Justice in [Avena], by having State courts give effect to the decision in accordance with general principles of comity in cases filed by the 51 Mexican nationals addressed in that decision.

Treason is the reason, and should adjudicate with extreme prejudice.
