The Supreme Court of the United States has said the World Court has no writ or authority to dictate or override Texas law.

Consider the tone of the Reuters article, giving some indication of the stakes in this case for US sovereignty.

“The World Court last month ordered the U.S. government to “take all measures necessary” to halt the upcoming execution of five Mexicans until it makes a final judgment in a dispute over suspects' rights.”

The World Court sees itself as able to give orders to the United States government, and as the court of final appeal over US law.

Fascinating how folks on the Left (see TalkLeft) are so eager to dismiss US sovereignty, the Constitution, and the girls who were brutally murdered in this case . . . in order to spite Bush.

So what. . . two girls were raped, tortured and murdered . . . whatever. What about that poor innocent AQ suspect who was waterboarded at Gitmo?! That is the real crime!

“The June 1993 crime for which Medellin was condemned was chilling. According to the Texas Attorney General's office, Pena and her 14-year-old companion, Jennifer Ertman, were walking home when they encountered a gang initiation.
Medellin and his fellow gang members sexually assaulted, beat and strangled the two girls. When their badly decomposed bodies were finally recovered, they could only be identified by dental records.”
