Father of victim says U.N. body's order 'don't mean diddly'

Texas is refusing to bow to yesterday's World Court order to stay the Aug. 5 lethal injection of convicted rapist-killer and illegal alien Jose Medellin.

(snip)

Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office rejected Mexico's complaint.

"The world court has no standing in Texas, and Texas is not bound by a ruling or edict from a foreign court," Perry spokesman Robert Black said. "It is easy to get caught up in discussions of international law and justice and treaties. It's very important to remember that these individuals are on death row for killing our citizens."

Randy Ertman, father of Jennifer, a 14-year-old girl Medellin raped and murdered, criticized the World Court for attempting to intervene.

"The world court don't mean diddly," he said. "This business belongs in the state of Texas. The people of the state of Texas support the execution. We thank them. The rest of them can go to h-ll."

Adolfo Peña, father of Elizabeth, a 16-year-old girl Medellin also raped and murdered, concurred with Ertman.

"I believe we've been through all the red tape we can go through," he told the Houston Chronicle. "It's time to rock and roll."

WTF is a world court anyway? (Pardon my ignorance).

A bunch of judges, appointed by who-knows-who, who wear silly little collars and sit in The Hague. They don't have jurisdiction in the rest of the United States, much less Texas!

I love Texans. They say what we're all thinking. Doesn't matter whether it's the death penalty, criminal actions against our soldiers, or any other issue, "the world court don't mean diddly."

Smoke his ass then send the World Court his ashes and a bill for services rendered.

You boys get out there and fire ‘ol Sparky up one time for us, if you will...

No, no, no, 'ol Sparky, the electric chair was retired a long time ago. Now Texas uses lethal injection, which is known as 'ol Drippy.

And the Belgium-based World Court means 'ol squat in Texas.

international law expert Sarah Cleveland warned if the U.S. ignores the U.N. court order, many other countries may follow its example. "...When a global leader like the U.S. refuses to comply with its clear international legal obligations (and everyone agrees that this is a clear legal obligation), it undermines the willingness of other states to comply with their own obligations and it inspires them not to trust us to obey ours."

Oh, really? "Everyone agrees that this is a clear legal obligation"? Who's "everyone," Sarah? Anyone other than your own lib looney pals? Or is this just the UN anti-American "everyone"?

Note to Self: Rapin’ and Murderin’ while overseas may get you in trouble with the local authorities. Duly noted...

Since when did anyone agree that we have a responsibility to follow the rulings of this foreign court?

We're not even signers to the treaty that created it.
