If I were the President I would tell the World Court exactly where they could shove it.

The President has no say in the death penalty in Texas. Governor Rick Perry does, and all he can do is postpone the execution for 30 days.

This is nothing but political grandstanding by Vicente Fox.

The ruling — which the court cannot enforce and the United States could ignore — said the delay was needed while the court investigated whether the men and 48 other Mexicans on death row in the United States were given their right to legal help from the Mexican government.

I thought Vincente Fox was supposed to be a conservative who was going to reverse the last century of oppression in Mexico. All I can see that he has done is expedite the process of flushing out Native Americans from their ancestral homelands and helping Mexican Marxists to whip up a cockamamie notion that the southwest United States is the ancestral homeland to this new Diaspora. Hang the criminals. Charge Vincinte Fox as a world class criminal who is ethnically cleansing his country. He is on par with all the Arabs who drove out Palestinians from their lands. Fox is a terrorist.

Must? I don't think so.

He should also tell his good "amigo" Fox to shove it too!

If I was Perry, I'd say "This is Texas, we do things our way here"

Burn, amigos, burn.

We shouldn't be too tough on the World Court. After all, "sovereignty" is such a big and tricky word to spell and look up in Webster's....

[Ichabod Walrus]

When Yugoslavia took the US and other NATO states to court during the NATO aggression, the World Court delegitimized itself.

It threw the case out, arguing that it could not rule against nations which did not recognize the court's jurisdiction - particularly the United States and Spain, although both are full members of the United Nations, and therefore party to the International Court of Justic.

This is blather anyhow. The US recognizes international institutions only when they rule in its favor.

Where is outcry from the World Court on the monthly beheadings in Saudi Arabia?????

[Just another Joe]

If the United States does not, the World Court could complain to the U.N. Security Council, which could impose sanctions,

Sanctions? Bring 'em on.
Who do you think sanctions would hurt more? The USA or the countries that would uphold the sanctions.

[ex-Texan]

The justice department can ignore this ruling. Every state can ignore the ruling. However, President Bush needs to tell el Presidente Fox to shove it and we will immediately guard our borders against Mexicans. No more illegal immigrants !

Protocol prevents the President from telling any foreign body anything in those terms. There are, however, diplomatic ways to convey the same message.

What is interesting to me, is that neither the Court, nor the complaining Government, even bothered to sue the real parties in interest, Texas and Oklahoma. I suspect that is in part an admission that they really do not have jurisdiction in such a matter.

Yep! no official death penality in good old Mexico - they just take 'em out in a field and blow 'em away! saves time and money and no trial to boot!
