[DieHard the Hunter]

Why is it any of Mexico’s business whether the US has the Death Penalty? And why would the US pay any attention to the World Court: what are they going to do? Sue the President?

This UN stuff is beyond a joke: you couldn’t make this up.

[normy]

The UN has no jurisdiction in State matters and the US should not be usurping State authority by signing treaties it can’t enforce.

[rabscuttle385]

The court, informally known as the World Court, ruled in 2004 that the convictions of some 50 Mexicans on death row around the United States violated the 1963 Vienna Convention, which provides that people arrested abroad can have access to their home country's consular officials.

So which is it, Mexico: are your nationals subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Government or are they not? You can't have it both ways.

If they are, then your claims with regards to these rapists and murders are full of excrement. If they are not, then all those anchor babies were improperly awarded U.S. citizenship. Either way, the Mexican government is encouraging an invasion of our States -- an act of war -- and our own Government is standing by and doing nothing, an act of treachery against We The People that is so great that it may merit a Revolution, whether peaceful or otherwise.

President Bush accepted the judgment and asked state courts to review the cases. Texas refused.

All of this speaks for itself.

[TADSLOS]

Mexico needs to mind its own business.

[theDentist]

Execute, drive carcasses to border, throw it over with a note (in Spanish, of course): “This is what happens to murderers, rapists, pedophiles.” etc.

[reagan_fanatic]

The U.S., in turn, should file a motion with the World Court to order Mexico to keep its own damned citizens on its own damned side of the border.

[republicanequestrian]

The U.S. had better stand up for its sovereignty NOW or we're really down the toilet!! The U.N. has no authority over our courts and laws, and it had better always be that way!

[kc8ukw]

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we’ve just been soverignly insulted.

[BuffaloJack]

Someone breaks into your home and you can shoot the SOB.
It should be the same for invaders sneaking across the border.

[informavoracious]

Mexico has executions, they’re just carried out on a whim by the drug lords rather than by the state after a fair trial.

[SUSSA]

This will give Bush another chance to side with Mexican criminals against the people of the United States.

[RightWhale]

Maybe the World Court can order the cessation of executions of police officers in Mexico.

[E. Cartman]

At least their criminals in our country have had the right to a fair trial before sentencing. That’s a privelege Americans murdered by Mexicans criminals here illegally never had.

[denydenydeny]

The number of Americans murdered in Mexico every year (42 on average) is nearly equal to the total number of Mexicans on American death rows. When is the UN going to protect them?

trying to give a damn... How come Mexico can't fight this hard to clean up their own country?

[The_Victor]

Until that can be done, Mexico said the United States "must take any and all steps necessary" to ensure that none of its citizens is executed,

I agree. Except that I think it's Mexico's responsibility to "take any and all steps necessary" to keep their criminals in their own country. Then it can be guaranteed they won't be executed in the US.

[doug from upland]

Baghdad...........Tehran............Mexico City

[absalom01]

Until that can be done, Mexico said the United States "must take any and all steps necessary" to ensure that none of its citizens is executed, and asked the court to take urgent measures to intercede.

Uh, good luck with that...we're talking about Texas here, not California....

[deport]

The dude been sucking air since 6/24/93 when he and five other perps sexually assualted a 16 year old and strangled her.

His scheduled exucution is 8/5/08 if the state isn't blocked from carrying it out.
