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.

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.
