Supreme Court refuses stay of Texas execution
By a 5-4 vote along ideological lines, the Supreme Court has just refused to stay the execution of convicted killer Humberto Leal Garcia, a Mexican convicted of the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl in 1994. The Obama Administration, citing concerns over U.S. interests and treaty obligations, had asked the court to delay the execution, scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern Time tonight.

So long scumbag!
No, let’s do it very slowly.
LOL! “They call me tater salad”...
Thanks for the additional info. Something didn’t smell right in the story.
Our justice system may not be perfect, but the one where he’s going is.
The sad part is taking 17 years to do what should have been done 15 years ago.
Sick tasbard....death is too good for this southern border import piece of basura...
The Reuters article conveniently omits the info that rapist/murderer has been in the country illegaly since he was two years old.
Time to die scumbag! Stick the needle in and rid the earth of his shadow.

In this case, it’s Ron White, a comedian.
True. But at least in 17 minutes justice will finally be served.
Elections have consequences! The 2 pos that dick obama put on the SC are proof
Thats what the Supreme Court just decided. The Feds sued to stop the execution and the SCOTUS sided with the State of Texas. There is no other court left to sue in.
Personally I hope he goes to that room kicking and screaming like the coward he is.
The Vienna Convention guarantees residents of foreign countries the right to see representatives of their governments when they are arrested.
Although the U.S. government has signed the Vienna Convention, Congress has not passed a law to implement it.
Isn’t that the truth. Another 5-4 decision right down “party lines” of the nominating POTUS. One more reason that I will vote for the most conservative candidate in the primary and a ham sandwich with an R by its name in the general if need be.
Why does the Mexican government even claim as a citizen a rapist who bludgeoned his 16-year-old victim with a 35-pound piece of asphalt? They must be very proud.
He will stand before the real Supreme Court in ten minutes.
