The State Department's top legal adviser told international lawyers on June 6 that President Bush is so committed to the primacy of international law that he has taken his home state of Texas to court on behalf of a group of Mexican killers. The Mexicans had been sentenced to death for murdering U.S. citizens, including young children.
John B. Bellinger III, legal adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, cited the case, Mexico v. United States of America, in trying to convince the attorneys that the administration is doing what it can to enforce international law in U.S. courts.
In the case, Bush has come down on the same side as the U.N.'s International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ruled 14-1 on behalf of Mexico against the U.S. The ICJ was headed at the time by a judge from communist China, who also ruled against the U.S.
Bellinger's audience was gathered at The Hague, a city in the Netherlands which is home to over 100 international organizations, including the U.N.'s International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.
Sworn in as the Legal Adviser to the Secretary of State on April 8, 2005, Bellinger is described by the State Department as "the principal adviser on all domestic and international law matters to the Department of State, the Foreign Service, and the diplomatic and consular posts abroad."
The Bellinger speech, designed to convince the pro-U.N. globalists in attendance that Bush is really on their side, should have been big news. Not only did he praise Bush for coming down on the side of foreign killers of Americans, in a major court case with international implications, but he demonstrated how far the administration is prepared to go to impress the "international community."
In a major disclosure, Bellinger said. . .

>Is this the same president who refused to sign the United States on with the World court in the Hague?<
W. was pretty good to start out with. I think his reflexes are a little slow, ie: he continued reading to the school children after he was told about the first plane hitting the World Trade Tower, as seen on video. But he has many of the same advisers, including vice president, who have been in place in Washington for a long time, most of which are CFR members. So he couldn’t help but be influenced by them. He also has signed the NAU treaty, which is unconstitutional to say the least. So he has been on the slide for quite a while now. Incidentally, a few of his advisers apparently are signing on with FDT. Not a good omen, in my opinion.
I do.
You make some very good points and food for thought. 2006 was a very odd election and that night it was made even stranger with that comment.
Thank you for the information. He should tell that to the surviving family members of the babies killed by the Mexicans.
Someone said earlier, here, that ‘he has an agenda’. Well, he certainly does, and it does not include the sovereignty of our country or upholding the Constitution. I am so furious I surprise myself!
It is a fact. How can that, when simply stated as such, be racist?
If you take illegals (and their offspring) out of the equation, the US birth rate will not sustain the population. A very scary fact. And one that those inside the beltway are very aware of.
The solution is to continue with widespread abortions and fill the need with illegals and their offspring.
All we need to do to decide it is to agree that we want to get together and do it.
It does. I didn't read the entire article, but what I did read was slightly over-hyped, IMO.
If there is someone out there who believes in our constitution and wants to rebuild our Nation, please step forward.
Was that speech for real? Did he say “See you at the bill signing” 10 times? How sick is that? Does he KNOW he’s basically standing up in front of the Presidential Seal and flipping us all off?
I will never, ever, ever support another Bush. This one hid his true colors for a long time but in the end it turns out he is the same internationalist in sheeps clothing that his father is. Never again. It’s time that dynasty is put to rest.
But guess what, we must play by the rules (I guess).

The solution could just as easily have been to add more people through legal immigration.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is FDT?
You hear this from someone who kept supporting him while waiting for a truly conservative domestic policy to emerge.
Calling all Bushbots...calling all Bushbots...
I was hoping we could hold out to 2008. I greatly admired Bush’s move in Iraq although I hoped he would take out Iran shortly thereafter. A Middle East cleansing so to speak as the Islamists only understand force (it’s a respect/fear thing).
At this point I think Impeachment is no longer a dirty word. He has clearly failed his high office concerning the enforcement of Border Security. In fact he is blatant about his disregard for the law of the land. He has completely failed to comply with his oath of office. Even if the move fails it will send a clear message to the Rhinos.
The Base should somehow start the proceedings just to neutralize the traitor. Shut him up til 2008.
Conservatives need to start thinking independently of the GOP. Either we find the right GOP candidate or break off. Might be 2012 or 2016 before we can form a BASE, but we must start somewhere. A 3rd Party is inevitable or the Republic is toast.
If only partially true...I'm done with Dubya.
And will feel VERY good about that.
Giving his attacks on Americans and his continual pushing of the shamnesty bill. I would conclude that it is the truth. He is a committed one worlder with the us tax payer footing the bill.
