Yep...has been all along.
Great graphic.
In winning the Medellín v. Texas case in 06, Ted Cruz has already done more good for Americans than all the candidates combined.
As a result of that case, my state was able to legally impose our own sanctions on Iran in 2013.
>>Medellín v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491 (2008), is a United States Supreme Court decision that held that even if an international treaty may constitute an international commitment, it is not binding domestic law unless Congress has enacted statutes implementing it or unless the treaty itself is “self-executing.” Also, the Court held that decisions of the International Court of Justice are not binding domestic law and that, without authority from the United States Congress or the Constitution, the President of the United States lacks the power to enforce international treaties or decisions of the International Court of Justice.<<

in winning this case the state of Texas was legally able to execute this piece of alien filth.
>>On June 24, 1993, José Ernesto Medellín (an 18-year-old Mexican citizen) and several other gang members participated in the murder of Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Peña, when they raped a 14-year-old and 16-year-old girl for an hour in Houston, Texas. Both girls were killed to prevent them from identifying their assailants. Medellín strangled one of the girls with her own shoelaces. Hours after Medellin’s arrest he admitted to his part in the crime and boasted of having “virgin blood” on his underpants.<<
Its been strangely quiet but the man who murdered Brian Terry was given a plea deal yesterday that takes execution off the table.
