dont pick on Ted!!
this thing’s all but over and he lost me with the NY thing but it was a last shot at winning other states.
just because Trump is a good pick doesn’t mean Ted is a bad pick.
at least to me. he should keep his dignity and live to fight another day.
............Jose MedellÃn and five other young men brutally raped and murdered Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena, two teenagers from Houston, Texas, in June 1993, when the two girls stumbled upon the men's gang initiation on their way home.
Within three hours of his arrest, Medellin admitted to the crimes with which he had been charged and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued him a death sentence. However, MedellÃn appealed his execution, saying he informed the police he was a Mexican national, but was never given the chance to confer with the Mexican consulate.
..........."Frankly, it was at this moment that was my final straw with George W. Bush," Beck said. "It was at this moment that I said, 'There's something wrong here. This guy is not who we think he is.'"
After Texas had already denied MedellÃn's request and the International Court's appeal, the case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to battle the president's request.
"So Governor Rick Perry and Texas, again, said 'no' to Bush and the International Court," Beck said. "It became Medellin v. Texas."
[Ted] Cruz, the 37-year-old solicitor general of Texas at the time, argued the case for the state, "against the brutal killer, Mexico, and the International Court, and George W. Bush."
In the end, the Supreme Court ruled only Congress had the power to order hearings to be held, and in July 2008, Medellin was executed.
"Along with Rick Perry, it was Ted Cruz who saw that it was justice that was served against the full-frontal efforts and attacks of George W. Bush," Beck concluded.
