there is an actual treaty whereby a mexican national can demand to see his consular official and where the US has an obligation to notify the consulate when such a person is in custody for the death penalty.

HOWEVER, where a person lies or conceals their status they can be deemed to have waived that right.

This right was only asserted late in the game not at the very begining.

The Republic of Texas is set to execute Mexican in defiance of international court.

It's nice to see that some glimmer of state sovereignty still exists.

Jose Ernesto Medellin, 33, was due to be executed by lethal injection at 2300 GMT in the state of Texas. He was convicted of the 1993 rape and murder of two teenagers and is one 51 Mexican nationals on death row in the United States.

This is the illegal alien who raped and slaughtered Jennifer Ertman (14) and Elizabeth Pena (16)

He is supposed to be executed TODAY at Huntsville, TX at 6 PM Eastern.....

"All orders of the International Court of Justice MUST be respected by states," Pan Ki-Moon warned on TV.

Okay, Moonbat, send in your best troops. The descendants of the Alamo will be ready. THEY'LL decide what they'll do and what they won't do, not your fascist, anti-American, international court tinpots.

I see your enjoying the fiestas down in Mexico on our tax money while on a phoney-baloney "AIDS Conference" junket.

You've come a long way from Korea, baby.....now you rule the most powerful country on earth.....or so you think, you sniveling little punk.

he had taken all the necessary steps to delay Medellin's execution, detailed in a letter to the United States and that he was "confident" his demands would be accepted.

We'll see how confident he is about 2 1/2 hours from now.

Local Support for the Ertman and Pena families

If you are local in the Houston area and want to show your support for the families of Jennifer and Elizabeth, please come to Huntsville on Tuesday.

Please keep in mind that we will be there to honor Jenny and Elizabeth, not to celebrate an execution. If you come, please be respectful of the families and the situation.

"defiance of International Court"

That fantasy has no jurisdiction in this sovereign nation, Despite what Dr Rice thinks. The idea that this schmuck babbling from mexico just shows how delusional these people are.

State Troopers and guards

I was thinking some Texas Girl Scouts might be able to earn their firearms badges, but it might be a tad dangerous for them - maybe some Boy Scouts.

"That makes him a traitor to the United States of America."

That is pure Bravo Sierra! The President sent this to the Supreme Court so that he could tell the world that we are a nation of laws and our laws trump the UN and World Court.

He is as wise as you are stupid. What is worse, you are emotionally out of control.
