The governor has no power over the death penalty. All he can do is request a one-time 30-day delay of the execution by asking the Board of Pardons and Parole to review the case.

That's it.

The Texas Governor has no power to commute or overturn the sentence.

He can't stop it.

The media, lazy and ignorant as they are, were after Bush over an execution he had no control over. None whatsoever.

Didn't know that, thanks. However, I've become anti-death penalty if the scum were sentenced to HARD labor for the duration of their life. Let them know agony - make them suffer. Think chain gangs. Yes, I've become a vengeful sh*t. I'm sick of these monsters going out so easily when good decent people go through years of pain from cancer, et al.
