A U.S. judge has little to no say.

Because it was out of his jurisdiction?

A U.S. judge has refused to delay Saddam Hussein's execution.

Good. Not that I think he really had any jurisdiction to do so, anyway!

It might delay or cancel my brother's leave, but it has to be done--and sooner is better than later!

US Judges have no say in this at all.

It would have been funnier if he had delayed it...and been totally ignored. ;)

Well, that's a switch!

I thought for sure some pudding-brained, Democrat-appointed idiot was going to stick his/her oar into the water by issuing an injunction.

So many good people die. Can just one evil son of a bitch die?

Good. I'll bet they picked some idiot leftist appointed by Carter or Clinton to bring this appeal to, but even an idiot leftist knows that he'd only look weak and foolish if he issued an unenforceable ruling.

The U.S. does not have jurisdiction. Saddam was tried by Iraqi courts.

I'm not a death penalty sort of person, but I don't know what else fits a situation like this.

Life in prison really doesn't work in countries where you don't have a stable government. The perp could be out tomorrow as a result of political changes. This is not just true of Iraqi, but many if not most countries.

>>>U.S. judge refuses to delay Saddam Hussein's execution.<<<

Good....its not his job!!

Lucky SC Justice Kennedy didn't get to decide - he would hae used "International Law" to come up with a decision...and you know what it would be!
