Did you even read the article, bot? The fact is that Bush sided with the ICJ and the illegal alien murderer over the victim, the US Constitution, and TX state law.

And not only that, but people should really read up on the memo he authored which the Court slapped down hard in today’s case. The President way exceeded his authority.

No, he did not. President Bush took several steps to protect this nation from the international socialists and their attempts to foist a world government on the people of the United States. The following paragraph, buried at the end of the information posted by indcons, is the heart of this story. Perhaps it's a bit too intricate for the knee-jerk anti-Bush crowd around here to follow, but I'll spell it out for you anyway:

The Bush Administration did not agree with the World Court ruling, and, in fact, withdrew from the international protocol that gave the World Court the authority to enforce the Vienna Convention. Even so, Bush issued a memo in February 2005, agreeing that the U.S. would seek to obey the World Court, and he told the states involve to “give effect” to that tribunal’s decision. The case thus came to the [Supreme] Court as a major test of presidential authority, in seeking to enforce treaty obligations, to override contradictory state criminal procedure rules. In that test, the presidency clearly lost.

In taking these several interconnected actions, the Bush administration and the Supreme Court have made it impossible for future presidents to try to shove rulings from that so-called world court down the throats of the American people. President Bush:

1. Disagreed with the so-called world court.

2. Withdrew us from the protocol.

3. Knowing future presidents could reverse his withdrawal, he sought a test cast to bring to the Supreme Court -- the new, more conservative Roberts court.

4. The Roberts-led Supreme Court ruled in favor of American sovereignty (and, by inference, President Bush's decision to withdraw from the world court protocol). This decision thus enshrines President Bush's objection to the world court into our laws, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible for future presidents to push us under the thumb of an international socialist world government.
