Judge Roy Bean,
"some folks need killin'" Medellin should have been dead long ago.

But, the state added, if there are other foreign nationals in Texas who have not had the same review of their treaty-based claims, the state will join in to make sure that it happens. This is very troubling to me. It seems to acknowledge a reasoned expectation that Texas must bow to international pressure, specifically the World Court.
If Texas is acknowledging that duty in other cases, it might prejudice the court against this execution until it meets the standard Texas intends to implement in future cases.
Big mistake IMO. Let's hope I'm wrong.
The SCOTUS held firm before. If this execution does get delayed, it will be on these merits, again IMO.

Medellin’s lawyers have asked Justice Antonin Scalia, as Circuit Justice for the area that includes Texas, to postpone his execution until the Supreme Court can act on new appeals by his counsel. I somehow think that they're probably asking the wrong guy on this...!

Those poor families. I know what they are going through. It took 13 years for the scum bag who murdered my grandmother to be executed. I wish they had let us bring in some champagne when we were in the viewing chamber!

Maybe it’s just me, but if some U.S. citizen went to Mexico and raped and murdered a couple of women, I’d hardly be protesting his impending execution.

All this legal wrangling, millions of dollars spent, international brouhaha, just to put down a rabid animal.

Even with a hurricane bearing down on us and threatened power outages, we’ll keep the lights on in Huntsville for this. :)

Sean Hannity had Rick Perry on today and my understanding is that this is a go.
I think this is the case which Bush & Co. tried to interfere in and had me calling the White House to throw Ramos and Compean in his face again.
A gang of five or six spend hours raping, sodomizing, beating, kicking, stomping, ultimately murdering a sixteen-year-old and a fourteen-year-old--America's women raped and murdered by Mexican invaders and the president was on the wrong side.
Does the Republican Party need to be reminded why it's a minority party?
Behold the glories of comprehensive immigration reform, i.e., amnesty.
Look at the percentages, and the crime and prison impact is just one facet.

Well I hope it is Phil. This guy deserves to pay for what he did to those young women. And the World Court should be told in no uncertain terms, screw off.

Perry’s not perfect, but he’s sure right on this one.
This one will be flushed down where he belongs tomorrow!
