Excerpt -
Acting on a claim by Mexico’s government that the U.S. government has not done enough to assure the treaty rights of Mexican nationals facing execution for murders in the U.S., the World Court on Wednesday ordered the U.S. — by a 7-5 vote — to stop five imminent executions in Texas.Leaving it up to the U.S. to choose the way to carry out the order, the international tribunal — formally, the International Court of Justice that sits in The Hague, Netherlands — told the U.S. only to “take all measures necessary to ensure” that Texas does not execute five individuals on its death row.
The World Court issued its order to assure that the Mexicans remain alive until the tribunal can resolve a new dispute over the global obligations of the U.S. government — a dispute that has already led to two decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Use illegals to build the scaffold.
The World Court can shove it.
The Hague - that’s the court the liberals over at DU and DK gush over. They want to send Bush there to be convicted of “war crimes”.
We owe the World Court nothing.
Stay the executions, and then stage an “accident.”
Sorry “World Court”.We have a judicial system that works just fine without your learned advice.But thanks anyway.
Well now maybe the World Kangaroo Court will send in UN troops to stop it........and Im sure fine Americans will give them a nice welcoming...........
Maybe the world court will send the world police to America to stop us.
No wait... America is the world police.
Shove it world court.
Dear World Court,
Go —— yourselves.
Best,

F the world, well most of it.
Texas and Texans to the World Court...GTH!
UN troops to Texas to tell them how to run their affairs?
"Behind every blade of grass is........."
Good one. The UN force without the US couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Hope Texas getter-done, box up the body bags, and send it to the UN.
The dispute is resolved to our satisfaction, the executions will go forward in a manner consistent with Texas law.
It is Mexico’s misfortune that that is not also to their satisfaction, but I suggest that they worry more about the mass slaughter of their own police officers, about which we read daily in the news, it seems.
A country which cannot maintain the rule of law within its own borders has nothing to teach us about the rule of law within ours. It’s attempts to interfere are deeply resented by decent Americans.
Not a peep from the World Court when these convicted murderers were executing their victims...
I’d be interested to read what some of our legal scholars have to say about this.
It seems to me that the World Court might have a voice if the United States were the entity that is carrying out these executions. But the entity is the State of Texas. I would think the World Court has no jurisdiction over this.
What say y’all?
No wait... America is the world police.
Shove it world court.
Didn’t Ruth Bader Ginsburg use a World Court ruling or other international ruling in one of her anti-US SCOTUS decisions not long ago?
