The International Court of Justice at The Hague on Wednesday ordered the U.S. to stay the executions of three Mexicans and reserved the right to intervene in dozens of other cases.

Come enforce your ruling, bitches!

HOUSTON (Reuters) - An unrepentant Texas said on Thursday it would ignore a World Court order demanding it stay the executions of two Mexicans, a decision likely to create more friction between the United States and its allies over capital punishment.

BRAVO Texas .... tell them EuroUN-weenies to stick it :)

Mexico brought the World Court case last month, arguing that 54 of its citizens on death row should get retrials.

Maybe Mexico should keep its murdering scum at home.

Oh, darn. I guess we're international outlaws again.

These people make the Ninth Circuit look like the Founding Fathers.

A U.S. refusal to heed the World Court could worsen already-tense relations with Mexico on the issue.

How come Mexican murderers comong to the US doesn't worsen relations with Mexico? If they'd keep their crooks home we wouldn't have our people murdered, and we wouldn't have to execute the murderers.

Here's the flag that Texans flew at Gonzales during the Revolution to taunt the Mexicans.

Mexico, if you want these two killers, come and take them.

And where exactly was the world court when men and women were being executed on a soccer field in jihadistan on a regular basic for crime of improper dress or similar idiocy?

Way to go Texas.

Would the World Court do anything about this parking ticket I got?

I get so tired of the arrogant Fox BS. Mexicans don't have special rights!! They don't live up to their agreements and do nothing to stop the flow of drugs and illegals into our country.

I assume the World Court judges take the standard Eurinal bribes to influence their opinions.

The Difference Between The Liberal and Conservative "Debate" Over The War On Terrorism:

Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand is a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? ___________________________________________________________

Liberal Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion. __________________________________________________________

Conservative Answer:

BANG! __________________________________________________________

Texan's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... (sounds of clip being ejected and fresh clip inserted)

Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?"

Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy!"

The State Department is reviewing the order and has not said whether Washington will order Texas and Oklahoma to stay the executions.

Sometimes reporters worry me. Does the author of this piece actually believe the Federal Gov't has the authority to give such an order?

Now i'm extremely jealous of the person who officially get to tell the World Court to stuff it. A food court has more power than they do.
