"Medellin's lawyer hopes to stop it, saying client didn't get to talk to consulate"

A Houston man, Dale? Maybe he forgot he was a Mexican too.

I’m hoping I can drive up to Huntsville and enyoy the evening on that day.

I remember hearing about the murders when they happened and this POS deserves to die.

Well dear lawyer, the victims didn’t get to talk to their families either. Life is so cruel to violent criminals. Boo hoo...

No fan of the current POTUS but many think he set this up as a “test case” to remove any vestige of supposed international sovereignty over U.S. state law.

If that was indeed the intended purpose the administration did everything exactly correct in order to establish this monumental decision that no International body has ANY jurisdiction inside the U.S.A. unless specifically ceded to them by a ratified treaty.

Drop him off in Mexico. A short plane ride, don’t land, no parachute.

I wonder if the victim’s families could sue the fed gov for not enforcing the immigration laws when their loved ones are murdered by illegals? Same for Americans killed in car crashes with illegals causing the crashes.

They could, but they would have to get permission to sue first.

Dear President Bush.

Vienna SAUSAGE has more value to mankind than Medellin.

President Bush had said Texas should reconsider the Medellin case and others based on the Vienna Convention.

Bush is a major league asshole. For those feint of heart Bush supporters, Bush used these very words to Dick Cheney when pointing out Adam Clymer in an audience.

"A few days after he wrote the memo, Bush withdrew the United States from the part of an international treaty that gives the International Court of Justice final say in international disputes."

A president can withdraw the US from "part" of a treaty?

After this PoS meets up with the Texas executioner and our law is carried out then contact the Mexican consulate so they can come and claim Mr Jose Medellins body, fair enough?!

For crimes like this (any murder involving torture or rape), I wish they would reinstate the concept of outlaw, the removal of a person's legal rights as a human being, and then hand them over to the family or anyone else who wants to take a shot at them.
