I can see a lib on the SCOTUS putting this execution off in the name of international law.

SCOTUS washed their hands of him in 2006. They are *not* going to go there again...

I believe Justice Stevens stated that Texas could not be compelled to follow the World Court decision, but that they should review it (to fulfill treaty obligations).

The World Court didn’t stated Medellin could not be executed, only that his trial should be reviewed to ensure it was “fair”. I think the appeals process basically covered that.
