Father of victim says U.N. body's order 'don't mean diddly'
Texas is refusing to bow to yesterday's World Court order to stay the Aug. 5 lethal injection of convicted rapist-killer and illegal alien Jose Medellin.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office rejected Mexico's complaint.
"The world court has no standing in Texas, and Texas is not bound by a ruling or edict from a foreign court," Perry spokesman Robert Black said. "It is easy to get caught up in discussions of international law and justice and treaties. It's very important to remember that these individuals are on death row for killing our citizens."

Randy Ertman, father of Jennifer, a 14-year-old girl Medellin raped and murdered, criticized the World Court for attempting to intervene.
"The world court don't mean diddly," he said. "This business belongs in the state of Texas. The people of the state of Texas support the execution. We thank them. The rest of them can go to h-ll."
Adolfo Peña, father of Elizabeth, a 16-year-old girl Medellin also raped and murdered, concurred with Ertman.
"I believe we've been through all the red tape we can go through," he told the Houston Chronicle. "It's time to rock and roll."

Don't think he can, can he?
Don't State's rights trump the Federal government if they are not doing anything illegal?
Unless, GOD forbid, the magic Negro ascends to the White House, then all bets are off.
Talks cheap,
Let’s see if he stands by his words on this one.
Guy doesn’t deserve to breath good folks air.
Other than one exception in 1845, Texans have always exhibited a lot of common sense.
As for the World Court, to paraphrase the words on an old flag:
“Come and take him.”
Texas to world court. Ya’ll didn’t invade us and take us over yet so till then march off. And if ya’d like to try go ahead make our day.
Yup. Wasn’t he the same one who’d say “In texas if you kill someone we will kill you back” ?
Make that man our nominee at the GOP convention please.....
I like his foreign policy stance and I’m pretty sure his military views as well. Heck I’d wager from this that his stance on welfare would line up with mine too.
WTF is a world court anyway?
Wimbledon I believe.
But, but, the UN says p-ss on the victims??
I support simply electrifying the entire death row cellblock bars. Sorta like a bug light.
ping
I am sick and tired of the death row stuff that man who killed his pregnant wife has a blog on the internet proclaiming his innocence.
Wish he would have committed the crime in Texas rather than the pussy whipped state of California.
Manson has been on life sentence since 1970 something. His cohorts too.
Send them all off. We are all paying for these murderous B@st@rds.
Good idea...I concur Texas ought do just that - ship him COD, (Carcass On Doorstep) to The Hague. The WC ought then be informed, "You want to fight for his 'rights'? there he is - fight."
I loved Perry’s quote.
You know it is enough to make you want to move to Texas. There is something about Texans that I love.
Where did the world court get the idea that the UN court had status anywhere.
Did we vote on this? Did the world vote on this?
Who made it our “obligation” to obey this bunch of meddlesome busybodies?
Post 47,,great post and good to be reminded of the genius of Washington!!
Thanks
Red States are alway very appealing.
international law expert Sarah Cleveland warned if the U.S. ignores the U.N. court order, many other countries may follow its example. “...When a global leader like the U.S. refuses to comply with its clear international legal obligations (and everyone agrees that this is a clear legal obligation), it undermines the willingness of other states to comply with their own obligations and it inspires them not to trust us to obey ours.”
That’s called Freedom you b*#@h, look it it up.
