One day we may wake and not recognize America AT ALL!

Death penalty.

[Semper911]

This is not breaking news. It is from last Friday, and Texas has already responded with a big FUBO.

The dude is going to be executed tomorrow. Good riddance.

Humberto Leal Garcia has been in the U.S. since he was two. BUT 17 years ago, when he was arrested and charged with the brutal murder of 16 year old Adria Sauceda, the prosecutors were supposed to call the Mexican consulate?

Humberto Leal Garcia, right, is shown with anti-death penalty advocate Germain Corbin is shown in this June 6, 2011 photo. Leal is set to be executed in Texas for the 1994 kidnapping and rape of a 16-year-old girl. (Cortesia/Notimex/Newscom)

July 6, 2011 -- ABC News: Mexican National Set for Execution in Texas Despite Obama's Pleas for Delay ...."Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Attorney General Eric H. Holder praised the proposed legislation saying in a letter to Leahy it is of "fundamental importance to our ability to protect Americans overseas and preserve some of our most vital international relationships." .....

Long silent family of victim speaks ....."The South San newspaper is folded to reveal a specific ad on a page's bottom corner. "In memory of Adria Sauceda," it begins. Her dates of birth and death — Jan. 27, 1978, and May 21, 1994 — are in small type near the end.

"I look at that every day," Sauceda, 64, said as his fingers smoothed the pages. "Her friends paid to have that put in the paper. She had so many friends."....

Interesting little note: as per some old Sup. Ct. precedent, treaties that are not self-executing do not bind the states until Congress enacts legislation to put the treaty into effect. See, e.g., Whitney v. Robertson, 124 U.S. 190, 194 (1888).

In this case, notwithstanding that the treaty in question (which I do not know the name of off the top of my head) apparently does provide that the nationals of signatories are to be provided with consular assistance, the treaty itself appears - from the reports on the need to enact legislation to review alleged violations of the treaty - to not be self-executing and thus not binding on the states until and unless Congress enacts legislation making it so.

In other words, the State of Texas appears to be at liberty to ignore the provisions of this treaty until Congress has enacted legislation saying otherwise.

That means, in essence, that Obuttocks is trying to bootstrap the binding effect of the treaty by, in essence, claiming that it ought to be binding on Texas because, if you just give Congress enough time, Congress will do what it needs to do to make the treaty binding on Texas.

WE NEED TO ASK THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANYONE WHO'LL LISTEN Why is it lawbreakers have all their home countries.... the US govt and a succession of US presidents ..... defending their "rights?" And not even our own govt is protecting American interests?

News reports say Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru are conspiring to collude with The Anti-Defamation League, The American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center and several other civil and immigrant rights groups to infringe on US sovereignty to make laws as we see fit. The co-conspirators filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Georgia's law and are now asking a judge to halt the measure pending the outcome of their case.

=====================================

Nothing good has come from this plague of lawbreakers violating our borders. Illegals are a national security threat. They are conspiring to tear down democracy. Their home countries--and the US govt--- are helping them.

RE :”The administration is asking the court to delay the July 7 execution of Humberto Leal, 38, for as long as six months to give Congress time to consider legislation that would directly affect Leal’s case.”

There's a way to operate: have congress pass a federal law to get an illegal alien violent criminal (undocumented criminal??) off the hook. I am guessing they pass a federal law that requires the federal government take custody of the illegal violent criminals to protect him from the states, not to protect us from them.

I heard Mexico might stop sending their 'undocumented tourists' to the US for visits if this case isnt stopped.

One day we may wake and not recognize America AT ALL!

Let's see:

Flying the American flag is considered to be offensive and in bad taste.

Flash mobs are terrorizing our population.

Elected officials publicly and proudly state that the Constitution is irrelevant.

It's illegal to mention God on public property.

Our government routinely takes over private corporations and entire industries (in fact and under law).

English is not spoken in an increasing number of American locales.

Illegal aliens are allowed and encouraged to stay in our nation and not assimilate, and are allowed to vote (or not prevented from voting).

Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are not allowed to carry pocket knives.

The President of the United States bows to foreign leaders.

The President of the Unites States believes that the Constitution is deeply flawed because it only says what the government cannot do to us, but does not say what it must do for us.

Mayors and city councils outlaw salt in restaurant food.

Federal agencies require us to have permits before we can chop down trees or modify our properties.

Little kids can no longer operate lemonade stands.

The sale of incandescent light bulbs is illegal.

The federal government takes no steps to protect our borders, and sues states that attempt to protect their own borders from foreign invaders.

The fastest growing economic sector is government employment, and the only boom town in the country is Washington DC.

I must say that the day when we no longer recognize America has come and gone. I truly do not recognize the nation that I grew up in.

Buh, buhhhh, but.....they're not Mexican Nationals! Obama says they're undocumented immigrants. So, Mr. Mexico, what this means is that these guys are OURS and we will do what we damned well please with them...suck it.

This was front page story in the Dallas Morning News today.

Leal did not tell police or prosecutors that he was Mexican national.

DMN thinks it’s unlikely Perry will cave on this.

I hope not.

But does Barry have it in for Texas or what???

[Tublecane]

I don’t understand the mechanism for SCOTUS stepping in. There’s no appeals process underway, and precedence is clear on individual consular rights (if they exist at all) not being grounds for overturning convictions. Since when do justices stay executions out of the blue for any old reason? it’s as if Obama sees them as a deus ex machina, to be invoked whenever something loosely related to the law needs doing. They have their processes, too.
