Secretary of State John Kerry previously asked Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to delay Tamayo's execution, saying it "could impact the way American citizens are treated in other countries."

Yes, like our ambassadors. Oh, wait ...

Kerry clearly doesn’t understand how the law works in Texas. Neither the governor or the attorney general is allowed the power to delay an execution for long. The clemency board (if I recall the name correctly) is the only entity that can do that, and they said no a long time ago.
