“The president does not agree with the ICJ’s interpretation of the Vienna Convention,” the administration said in arguments filed with the court. This time, though, the U.S. agreed to abide by the international court’s decision because ignoring it would harm American interests abroad, the government said.”

Abiding by it hurts Americans here at home. Just ask the families of those two girls.

"The IJC is the judicial body of the un. Bush has acquiesced our law for theirs. In doing this he has proclaimed “their” laws over ride ours. This is only the beginning."

If so, that's a direct violation of our constitution, and a violation of his oath of office, in which he swears to protect the constitution.

Strange that the RATS aren't screaming to have him impeached over this. It might actually have teeth.

“International Court of Justice”

If I were the governor of Texas I execute the SOB and tell Bush he can go be the ICJ’s President. What’s Bush going to do about it??

A judge sentenced him to death in October 1994.

Why didn't Bush take up the cause when he was governor? While he couldn't unilaterally pardon the guy, he could have leaned on the board to make a recommendation and then issued the pardon. Of course, then he might have ended up with a Willie Horton on his hands.

It most definitely is.

Not strange at all. The majority of the rats agree. If a stink arises over this and the American people start to ride them like we did on shamenesty, the dims will run for cover-then they will start attacking it. Until then, they have no problem with it.

“on the surface appears bad, but the big picture may be something else.”

If an American goes to a foreign country they do so at their own risk and agree to obey their laws and be subject to such laws. If an American decides to go to a bannana republic then they accept all responsibility if they are kangaroo’d. We should not project American justice into any other country least they expect to do the same.

It's U.S. versus Texas in death penalty case

Supreme Court to rule whether international treaty trumps state law

Exactly.

Bush's action is bizarre. That he would support for this horrific rapist/pedophile/killer creates disturbing implications.
