The original headline reads: "Breaking: Supreme Court rules against illegal alien Death Row murderer (and stupid Bush administration), upholds US sovereignty" (cropped to comply with FR's headline length rules).

Found this on Michelle Malkin's site. Did not see it posted here after a search.

"The decision, aside from its rebuff of presidential power, also treats the World Court ruling itself as not binding on U.S. states, when it contradicts those states’ criminal procedure rules."

I find it hard to swallow that we should allow access to consular officials by those that are in our country illegally. That alone should terminate any rights they have as decreed by “international” law.

Excellent news.

This is the best part:

Chief Justice John Roberts ... said

the international court decision cannot be forced upon the states.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

The president, was in the unusual in his usual "bent over" position was obviouslyand pandering to his good buds south of the border, going so far as to side with a murderous illegal alien thug, and against his own government and his home state

Hey Jorge, just how low will you stoop in your efforts towards open borders and shamnesty?

It has been baffling to watch President Bush try to figure out which nation’s citizens elected him to be their president. He has sided with Mexican citizens over our own countless times.

Here a Mexican citizen had killed a Citizen of the United States, and Bush still defended him. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, he has backed illegal aliens as they declared open season on U.S. Citizens’s jobs and lives.

The president may not “establish binding rules of decision that pre-empt contrary state law,” Roberts said.

BTTT!!

[Notwithstanding]

Who were three “yes” votes?

[Deo volente]

Supreme Court SMACKDOWN of the New World Order!

I love it!!

(I wonder if President Jorge W. is having a few regrets right now about nominating John Roberts.)

[sit-rep]

by the world court’s rulings in such cases

The world court aye?

We really need a statement of American sovereignty. If foreign governments want our nationals to respect their laws, they have to accord the same to ours when their nationals are here. Foreigners are not given privileged status by virtue of being in America.

15 years after the murders, this vato is still breathing.

Que horible!

[USMCPOP]

Was he here on a temporary visa, or an illegal immigrant visa? I’d say anything goes in the latter case.

Do they barbecue them in Texas? If so, someone might ask the Mexican Consulate what sauce is most appropriate.

[FreePaul]

Bush was in the unusual position of siding with...a Mexican citizen...

What's unusual about that? Bush has sided with Mexico and Mexican citizens over US citizens and laws for years.

[kingattax]

someone please help me out here. where in the US constitution is a president given explicit powers to order any court, state or federal, to do anything ?

[trisham]

Good news!

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Bush was in the unusual position of siding with death row prisoner Jose Ernesto Medellin, a Mexican citizen

Don't know what they're talking about. Sounds like his usual position to me! On the side of the Mexicans instead of the Americans!

"Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, disagreed. Roberts said the international court decision cannot be forced upon the states.

The president may not “establish binding rules of decision that pre-empt contrary state law,” Roberts said."

Way to go, Chief Justice John Roberts! There is no doubt how Justice Saundra "International Law Trumps the Constitution" Day O'Connor would have ruled.

[GVnana]

Roberts said the international court decision cannot be forced upon the states. The president may not “establish binding rules of decision that pre-empt contrary state law,” Roberts said.

Whoo Hoo! The Constitution upheld!
