Can You Believe This Outrage Erupts Over Bush Demands in Murder Case(But GWB has no time for Campeon & Ramos?

Question

President Bush's demands in the Medellin murder case, now being heard before the U.S. Supreme Court, are "bizarrely grotesque," according to the chief counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund.

And the warning from ADF Chief Counsel Benjamin Bull notes that the case could result in U.S. laws being subjugated to U.N. resolutions and rules to the point that local police officers will have to spend more time studying international law than catching criminals.

"The notion that an international body can Mirandize the right of an illegal immigrant to call a consulate, so that if the local police trip up and innocently don't to it, a convicted rapist-torturer-murderer goes free, goes beyond bizarrely grotesque," Bull, whose organization has filed an amicus brief on the issue, told WND. Jose Medellin

At issue is the death penalty verdict for Jose Medellin, who confessed in 1993 to participating in the rape and murder of two Houston teenagers. Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena were sodomized and strangled with their shoe laces. Medellin then boasted of keeping one girl's Mickey Mouse watch as a souvenir of the crime.

The Bush administration is before the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to overturn the death penalty, at the behest of the International Court of Justice, a division of the United Nations.

Medellin and four others were convicted of capital murder and sent to Texas' death row. A juvenile court sentenced Medellin's younger brother, who was 14 at the time, to 40 years in prison.

But the Bush administration intervention came after the U.N.'s International Court of Justice found Medellin was not informed of his right to contact the Mexican Consulate for legal assistance.

That, according to the Hague, was a violation of a 1963 treaty known as the Vienna Convention.http://worldnetdaily.com/news/printer-friendly.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58063
There’s not anything he won’t do for a Mexican over an American. Ramos and Compean can rot in jail, but let’s go to bat for this monster that tortured and murdered two girls in such a horrific manner. What are the Supremes deciding? If the state of Texas has the right to kill this guy? When will we know their decision?

Answer 1

GWB needs to be tried for war crimes himself. Ramos and Compean should go free and everyone who supports illegal immigrants should be imprisoned under the terrorist and sedition and unamerican activities laws. I say, if the man pled guilty to committing the rapes and murders, then give him back to his country "in a box" borne of a "transportation accident". That would be just as right as what is being proposed. Remember that Bush's approval rating is well below 2/3's majority of the voters. In fact it's around 24% last I heard -- an all time low. Therefore, why would anyone want to listen to someone who is obviously in disfavor in his own country?

Answer 2

The supremes listened to arguments for 90 minutes. They give their decision in the spring. He won't go free, but he may get another trial. Same result, just delayed some more.
If he gets a new trial, 50 others on death row get new ones too.

Answer 3

definite he's. He would desire to additionally be fooling himself with it. although this is all BS from one end to the different. to illustrate, those terrorists are meant to be the biggest danger to return alongside on the grounds that Hitler. ok advantageous: the place's their military? Their army? Their air rigidity? Who runs the biggest, ultimate conflict device ever created on the face of the Earth? Who can obliterate any city in the international on a nil.5 hour's word? who's the possibility right here? those so observed as terrorists are no longer something yet reactionary peasants, ticked approximately foreign places superpowers attempting to regulate their patch of earth for the oil under it. Yeah they have been given one fortunate shot in, and all it have been given them became into approximately 600 billion money well worth of ordinance unloaded throughout Iraq, and greater profession. This did no longer initiate in 2001, this is been going on for many of a century a minimum of. Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the U. S., they have all had a bypass at it. they're going to probable finally end up battling a actual conflict over it a variety of days yet. Yeah, GWB probable has himself as fooled as anybody. the full united states of america's have been given its head up its butt approximately it, jointly. nicely candy objectives is all i can assert, and robust luck. And say a sprint prayer on your god that chilly no longer basic actuality would not intervene on the region any time quickly.

Answer 4

You make an illogical argument.

Bush has the duty to support the Vienna Convention, because it likewise protects Americans abroad.

The important issue here is how international treaties we sign are to be regarded vis-a-vis federalism, where states retain so much power and rights. Currently, the state law enforcement and criminal law agencies are not under any obligation to inform a foreign criminal they have the right to contact their consulate for legal assistance.

Because a formal complaint has been made to the US that it is in violation of the treaty, Bush HAS to take this action, for the reciprocal protection of Americans abroad.

It is a very important decision the Supreme Court will be making here, with significant potential impact on federalism and the division of powers between the states and the federal government. Don't drag it down into gutter politics.

Answer 5

Bush has to bring this up by Constitutional law. International treaties are involved in this case not UN resolutions. However, that said him not stepping in about the Border Patrol Agents, all the cases is unconscionable.

Answer 6

Excellent question! It's a shame that Americans are not treated even ten percent as well as ANYONE else by our own politicians.

Thanks for bringing up the subject of Ramos and Compeon again. While I did indeed vote for GWB, I'm disappointed in him for this matter.

Answer 7

Might be time to go back to the ways of the wild west and just shoot to kill!

Answer 8

This is downright disgustng.

He needs to fry!

Bush needs to stop being a doofus and brown nosing him, start taking our side. To hell with the Mexico Pres, I am sick of Bush bending over backwards for him and his followers and Bush not helping his own American Citizens.

Answer 9
