times up...time to die....

These federal officials should be tried for treason. And then shot.

[the_Watchman]

There is nothing more to litigate. There is simply a disagreement between the State of Texas and the World Court. Tell the World Court to pound sand and move on.

[JRandomFreeper]

Good thing that Texas is a Sovereign State and has the powers reserved to it under the Constitution of the United States.

"Oh, posterity, you will never know how much it cost us to preserve your freedom. I hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it."

[Jeff Head]

Not only no, but hell no.

We are not beholden to or under the authority of any world court.

If other places want to try and harm Americans over this, when a brutal murder of two young girls took place, then they will suffer 1st the loss of trade with the US as people and companies quit going there, and if they push it too far, they will suffer under the force of arms of the US Marines.

That's how this should work and these other nations better damn well be aware of it.

[Repeal 16-17]

The SCOTUS has ruled that this is a State, not a federal, issue. Just do it, Texas!

[xcamel]

Fire them all... then a public hanging for the scumbag.

[Liberty Valance]

"José Medellin was sentenced to die after confessing to the brutal gang rape and murder of two teenage girls in Houston."

So the World Court excuses these kinds of crimes? What about the two teenage girls? They don't count? What about the families of the two girls? Justice was served and punishment needs to be carried out post haste.

[weegee]

The “World Court” isn’t looking for a flaw in the case, the world opinion is that the death penalty is “wrong”. Not so much public outcry against the gang rape and murder of two teenaged girls.

The victims were hispanic too so there is no racial element to this seeking punishment. The father one of the girls publicly speaks out these days that he agrees with the punishment.

[austrian]

world court??? this “court” doesn´t exist in this world.

[polymuser]

This is not the America my grandfather knew.

[stevio]

Come on Texas, you’re the country’s last hope.

“and endangering Americans abroad.”

other than in Islamic countries, Americans have no reason to fear being put to death by any Government. they do not believe in capital punishment and want to imposed, their views on us.

[BenLurkin]

Unbelievable.

[BnBlFlag]

Pi$$ on the Feds! Shoot him up Yesterday!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Sounds like a serious Constitutional battle could be brewing.
We'll see if the state of Texas has the juice to stand up to the Fed on this one. They are in the right. The Federales have no business with their noses in this issue.

[Paleo Conservative]

It’s ridiculous for alien criminal defendants to invoke this treaty on appeal when they never made any request to contact their country’s embassy before they went on trial. How is the state of Texas supposed to know that a prisoner is not a US citizen if that prisoner does not inform the state of that fact?

[YOUGOTIT]

The World Court is made up of left wing idiots who will NOT approve of any death of any criminal no matter the crime. As with the other left wing idiots in the EU it is their position to be on the side of the criminals and murderers and to hell with the victims.

Hang him!
