Outrage Erupts Over Bush Demands in Murder Case [But GWB has no time for Campeon(sic) & Ramos!]

President Bush's demands in the Medellin murder case, now being heard before the U.S. Supreme Court, are "bizarrely grotesque," according to the chief counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund.

And the warning from ADF Chief Counsel Benjamin Bull notes that the case could result in U.S. laws being subjugated to U.N. resolutions and rules to the point that local police officers will have to spend more time studying international law than catching criminals.

"The notion that an international body can Mirandize the right of an illegal immigrant to call a consulate, so that if the local police trip up and innocently don't to it, a convicted rapist-torturer-murderer goes free, goes beyond bizarrely grotesque," Bull, whose organization has filed an amicus brief on the issue, told WND. Jose Medellin

At issue is the death penalty verdict for Jose Medellin, who confessed in 1993 to participating in the rape and murder of two Houston teenagers. Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena were sodomized and strangled with their shoe laces. Medellin then boasted of keeping one girl's Mickey Mouse watch as a souvenir of the crime.

The Bush administration is before the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to overturn the death penalty, at the behest of the International Court of Justice, a division of the United Nations.

Medellin and four others were convicted of capital murder and sent to Texas' death row. A juvenile court sentenced Medellin's younger brother, who was 14 at the time, to 40 years in prison.

(Story continues below)

But the Bush administration intervention came after the U.N.'s International Court of Justice found Medellin was not informed of his right to contact the Mexican Consulate for legal assistance.

That, according to the Hague, was a violation of a 1963 treaty known as the Vienna Convention.

Jorge Boosh has time for this POS but he doesn't have time for Campeon & Ramos?

11/2008 won't come soon enough for me.

After hearing and reading the details of these young girls deaths yesterday, I was thinking I wouldn’t be sad at all if he were to be impeached.

Bush seems to be intent on destroying the party in time for a Hillary election in 11/2008. I can’t believe this guy has lost his marbles in 6 years.

This case occurred long before the Ramos/Campeon thing. It'll be around long after they are out of jail.

It is, as it turns out, irrelevant to any issue over which "W" has any control.

At the same time he probably ought to have his little friend Sutton picked up and held for the use of the next President.

The prez has long spent his last vestige of political capital.

This is truly an outrage. If Mexico and Bush want to champion misuse of American justice against a Mexican national, they picked the wrong issue. Medellin is a monstor.
This country, its laws, and its sovereignty are being subsumed by our leadership’s compulsion to pander to Mexico.
I noticed that Vicente Fox made subtle NAU noises on O’Reilly last night.

This is the end of America folks. This didn’t start with Bush by any means, but he’s giving the final push to destroy our sovereignty (and make our constitution irrelevant at the same time) and hand it over to the UN world government.

America is lost.

Is there anyone Bush hasn’t managed to alienate?

NAU? You mean that thing that doesn't exist even in theory? That thing that if you even mention it you are branded as a "conspiracy theorist" and subjected to all manner of "tinfoil" accusations? That NAU?

Now that it is being openly discussed, lots of posters owe huge apologies for years of ridicule to those who tried to warn America about what was happening.

You can say that again. Never thought I’d say this since I voted for him three times, but there is something very amis here. I know he bought several thousnd acres recently in Paraguay, and it occurs to me someone ought to be looking into his finaces. Always follow the MONEY. GWB’s recent activities are beginning to smell.
