Texas to World Court: Execution still on!

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.

(snip)

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."

(snip)

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."

I expect the World Court Army will be landing any day now to enforce the order...

Pres. Jorge Bush will intervene again to spare him.

Don't think he can, can he?

Don't State's rights trump the Federal government if they are not doing anything illegal?

A bunch of judges, appointed by who-knows-who, who wear silly little collars and sit in The Hague. They don't have jurisdiction in the rest of the United States, much less Texas!

Unless, GOD forbid, the magic Negro ascends to the White House, then all bets are off.

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.”

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.

I support simply electrifying the entire death row cellblock bars. Sorta like a bug light.

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.

"When they’ve completed the execution, the remains shouwl be put in a box, shipped to The Hague, and taken to the steps of the 'World Court'. The carcass should then be dumped on those steps and left for the 'Court' to dispose of."

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?

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.
