If I were the President I would tell the World Court exactly where they could shove it.

This is nothing but political grandstanding by Vicente Fox.

The ruling which the court cannot enforce and the United States could ignore said the delay was needed while the court investigated whether the men and 48 other Mexicans on death row in the United States were given their right to legal help from the Mexican government. I thought Vincente Fox was supposed to be a conservative who was going to reverse the last century of oppression in Mexico. All I can see that he has done is expedite the process of flushing out Native Americans from their ancestral homelands and helping Mexican Marxists to whip up a cockamamie notion that the southwest United States is the ancestral homeland to this new Diaspora. Hang the criminals. Charge Vincinte Fox as a world class criminal who is ethnically cleansing his country. He is on par with all the Arabs who drove out Palestinians from their lands. Fox is a terrorist.

"If I were the President I would tell the World Court exactly where they could shove it."
He should also tell his good "amigo" Fox to shove it too!

If I was Perry, I'd say "This is Texas, we do things our way here"

We shouldn't be too tough on the World Court. After all, "sovereignty" is such a big and tricky word to spell and look up in Webster's....

I detest the one worlders. Most peoples of other countries do not even come close to enjoying the freedoms that we enjoy. Yet we have the Sudan on the human rights commission.
Can we please leave the UN now? It's a useless organization.

When Yugoslavia took the US and other NATO states to court during the NATO aggression, the World Court delegitimized itself.
It threw the case out, arguing that it could not rule against nations which did not recognize the court's jurisdiction - particularly the United States and Spain, although both are full members of the United Nations, and therefore party to the International Court of Justic.
This is blather anyhow. The US recognizes international institutions only when they rule in its favor.

I don't trust Mexico either. What kind of timing is this for the Fox to be calling attention to U.S. death penalty laws, if it isn't to fan the anti-America flames in Europe where our death penalty laws get so much criticism?

Where is outcry from the World Court on the monthly beheadings in Saudi Arabia?????

Please note:
GWB is a "one worlder" or globalist. That's why he won't do anything about the 5000-6000 illegals trespassing over our borders every 24 hours. Notice his trade policies.....Free trade, not balanced trade. 5 BILLION to fight off AIDS in Africa. I've been asking on this BB for as long as I've been here for anyone to give me a clinical medical description of AIDS. Know what? No one can. Do you know what the UN definition of AIDS is? A low T-cell count. Next time you have a wicked case of the flu, do a rigorous workout for an hour. Immediately thereafter, get tested for AIDS....guess what, you've now have AIDS by the UN definition of AIDS. That 5 BILLION that my idiot president is stealing from myself and my fellow tax payers will wind up directly is some damn tin pot dictators pocket.
I'm completely dumbfounded....I can't believe I voted for this jerk.
Time we get a real conservative in office, not someone who will sell us down the river.

I'm completely dumbfounded....I can't believe I voted for this jerk. I can understand your confusion. I assume from your post that you actually intended to vote for "One World Gore." Was it a chad-punching thing? (grin)

wrong.....the ICJ ruled 4 to 5 that the the aggression need not be immediately stopped, but that the ICJ would rule on the case once all the facts were in. The case is slowly wending its way through the court and it looks as if the FRY will win it.
However, you are correct 2 of the 19 aggressor states chose to opt out of the case. That is provided for in the ICJ treaty. It was not the ICJ Judges which threw out the case against the 2 states. Rather it was the 2 states which they themselves chose to opt out.
The mere fact that these 2 aggressor states chose to opt out of the ICJ case points to how worried they were about losing. The rest of the 19 aggessor states at least had the honor to face justice.
