In 2005, President George W. Bush ordered Texas and other states to review the 51 convictions. But Texas' then-solicitor general, Ted Cruz, now a senator, persuaded the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that the president had no authority to order state courts to defer to the World Court....................I didn't know this about Cruz.like Cruz even more now.

I live about 25 miles from where the execution will be, and I have heard that tons of bikers will be there to rev up their bikes to keep protesters chants from being heard :)

The execution of a Mexican national was put on hold Wednesday as the U.S. Supreme Court considered appeals to keep 46-year-old Edgar Tamayo from the Texas death chamber.
