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

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.

That was a stupid way for a lawyer to put it. I was too focused on the idea of the President telling the Court and Mexico "where to shove it." Of course, the Complainant would decide whom it should sue. The Court, then, should have dismissed the case, for failure to state a cause of action against the named Defendant.
