I didn’t read the courts reasons but if they are not for soverign reasons then Texas was just full of hot air if they don’t execute.

It’ll never happen, but comments to that angle ought result in immediate removal from the Court. There should be nothing uttered from the Court that cannot be directly tied to words in United States law.

There were only three, sentenced to die that is. One has already been executed and one more awaiting an execution date to be set.

You are absolutely right.

If Congress can amend the Constitution, withdraw that, if two thirds of the Senate and the president of the United States can amend the Constitution by entering into a treaty which cedes article 3 functions to a body other than our own courts, eventually they can do away with the whole Constitution.

There should be only two ways to do away with the whole Constitution, by authorized constitutional amendment process or by revolution.

I believe one of the four was executed, others are on death row.

US top court refuses to halt Mexican's execution

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US Supreme Court has rejected a last-ditch appeal by a Mexican muderer on Texas death row, paving the way for him to be put to death despite a world court order for a stay of execution.

"The application for stay of execution of sentence of death ... is denied," the Supreme Court ruled.

Apparently there WAS at least a little confusion... in any case, thanks for sorting it out in clear terms.

I posted this because after reading it on michellemalkin.com I saw red!

Michelle has posted an update... no reprieve.

May God rest the souls of those two innocent girls in peace.

I’m really surprised at the liberals over this. They are all so fond of “sending a message” that it boggles the mind that they are against “sending a message” to Mexican criminals that they cannot get away with murdering people in America the way they do back home.

Medellin, who granted few interviews while on death row, told a Mexican news reporter that he had 15 years in prison to compose his emotions. On Monday and Tuesday, he visited with his parents, whom he had not seen since 2001.

Prison spokeswoman Michelle Lyons said the parents were barred from the prison after they were overheard plotting an escape for Medellin. Also Tuesday, Medellin spoke by telephone to his younger brother, Venacio, who is serving a 40-year sentence in connection with the crime.
