After backing the sovereignty of the state of Texas and rejecting international meddling, the US Supreme Court’s consideration of a last-ditch appeal has put illegal alien rapist/double murderer Jose Medellin’s scheduled execution tonight on hold.

Stay tuned for late-breaking developments.

[Cracker Jack]

Within three hours of his arrest, Medellin admitted his role in the gruesome murders, appalling authorities with his boastful, callous description of the night's events.

The pictures of the crime scene in the case file were particularly gruesome.

The only injustice here is that it took 15 years to execute this POS.

[who knows what evil?]

Geez, Texas...FIFTEEN years to take out the trash..?

Texas Executes Jose Medellin

POSTED: 9:54 pm CDT August 5, 2008
UPDATED: 10:12 pm CDT August 5, 2008

HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- Texas has executed Mexican-born condemned prisoner Jose Medellin for the 1993 rape-slayings of two teenage Houston girls.
The state carried out the execution late Tuesday night after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his request for a reprieve in a split vote. Medellin, 33, claimed he was denied treaty-guaranteed help from the Mexican consulate when he was arrested.

now permanently rehabilitated

Texas maintains the legal right to pull out of the Union.

They could become independent = that would be fun to watch. Then they’d have the biggest immigration problem in their history as regular Americans flocked to Texas. (only half kidding)

Who cares about how long it took. Tonight, Texas took on the world, and we kicked its pansy ass!

[TheZMan]

You’re exactly right, but at the same time we’d be rid of all the Mexicans, nanny-staters, tree huggers and run of the mill liberals in a friggin’ hurry.

I think I’d be OK with that exchange. Send me your conservatives, ya’ll can have all the garbage we can’t (yet) legally remove from the state.

[Defiant]

If a SC justice believes we are subject to “international law” as announced by some bogus court, then we are in serious trouble.

This headline apparently is not correct.

ONE thin vote was the difference between keeping and losing our sovereignty.

OBAMA MUST NOT BE ELECTED!!!!

Only people allowed in that have been in good standing with conservative posts on FR for at least a year.

I don’t want him elected either but do you believe JM would pick constitutional, conservative judges? He doesn’t even like us.

Hey,it could be worse.Under Mike "Tank Commander" Dukakis our convicted murderers and rapists used to get ***WEEKEND FURLOUGHS***!

[gost2]

He better not!

[maine-iac7]

got my bags packed, just in case. ;o)

[Ditter]

I think our chances with conservatives judges is certainly a possibility with McCain. It ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT HAPPEN with nobama. Why is that so hard to understand?

[Froggie]

Take the carcass to Neuvo Laredo, stap it on a giant catapult, and shoot that SOB back across the border from whence he came!!!
