Obama tries to stop Texas execution

in Texas, justice is 6 feet under

why should scumbag live after raping and murdering a 16 year old girl. It's not the fault of the State of Texas that this filthy murderous swine did what he did. Six foot under is what he deserves.
 
The Supreme Court has previously ruled that states can't be forced to comply with the provisions of treaties without some intervening federal legislation."

WHAT?!?!

If they did that, the SCOTUS has lost its collective mind.

Treaties are the law of the LAND.

The states do not get to parce out what parts of a treaty they like.

I think that's parse.... oh great legal mind.

:lol:
 
Wonder if any one actually has a clue when they are talking about the faulty forensics of Texas. That was in Harris County.

He had his appeals. And none of them found evidence of faulty forensics or miscue of Justice. The Federal Government will have to actually provide evidence he was denied due process. And that never happened in all the appeals. Been 17 years.

If the Court takes it, they will probably find no material consequences to his not contacting the Consulate.
 
"WASHINGTON — The Obama administration took the unusual step Friday of asking the Supreme Court to stop Texas from executing a Mexican citizen convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl.

The administration said the court should delay the planned July 7 execution of Humberto Leal for up to six months to give Congress time to consider legislation that would directly affect Leal's case.

The 38-year-old native of Monterrey wasn't told he could contact the Mexican Consulate after his arrest in the murder of Adria Sauceda. His lawyers say police violated an international treaty by not telling Leal he could have consular assistance.

Legislation pending in the Senate would allow federal courts to review cases of condemned foreign nationals to determine if the lack of consular help made a significant difference in the outcome of their cases. Last week, a federal judge refused to delay the execution.

The Supreme Court has previously ruled that states can't be forced to comply with the provisions of treaties without some intervening federal legislation."

I am not sure the Feds can stop it. A Federal court cannot stay a State court. Looks like another trip and fall for the Obama administration and a chance for Perry to give Obama the finger.

From the way it reads Obama did not want to prevent the man's execution, the administration merely wanted it to wait on laws. How are things going to 'change' within the system if 'we' do not accommodate the ways through which the system works?

:evil: Seriously. Dysfunctionalism's best is right before our eyes, it seems. Perhaps the Federal Judge should give Perry the same time the Anthony's case judge gave the juvenile for 'flipping the bird' to prosecution. :evil:
 
Eh, It's the Law. He raped and killed a 16 year old girl, got caught, convicted and under the laws of Texas was sentenced to death. So, What would he have accomplished by calling the Mexican consulate ? A guy would have gone to the jail, made sure he was not being beaten or starved and get in contact with the guys family in Mexico. Dude would still get the needle. I say let him call the Mexican consulate, and then go head and get rid of him.
 
There is a Mexican consualte in Texas, in fact almost every state, how else do the illegals get papers and fake I.D.s?
 
And just so it is said here in dealing with those that murder the innocence of our boys and rape our daughters, be them foreign or not, death seems to good. Sometimes slow cooked 'stew' is best to serve the King.
 
take tham out back and pop a cap in dat head. If it were my child, he would have never made it to trial.

So the thread title is misleading and inaccurate:

The administration said the court should delay the planned July 7 execution of Humberto Leal for up to six months to give Congress time to consider legislation that would directly affect Leal's case.

Legislation pending in the Senate would allow federal courts to review cases of condemned foreign nationals to determine if the lack of consular help made a significant difference in the outcome of their cases.

As already noted, Obama isn’t trying to ‘stop’ the execution, the Administration is seeking a delay to allow consideration for legislation that will authorize further review to ensure that when Leal is put to death, it was done so in an appropriate and legal manner.

Yet another non-issue.

Your opinion is not fact. The FACT is that Obama has ask the Supreme Court to STOP the execution for 6 months. For the purpose of passing a new law that would work to prevent said execution all together.

Last I checked new laws can not be used to go back in time to change outcomes.

The Supreme Court should hear the case and IF the Government can present any facts that establish the convicted was somehow denied a fair trial by not letting him know he could contact the Consulate then the stay would be proper. Failing that proof the Federal Government has had YEARS to create specific laws in regards this treaty. Their failure to act is not sufficient reason to stop the execution of someone tried and convicted and exhausted all his appeals for POLITICAL reasons.
 
If Illegal Aliens aren't free to rape and murder our 16 year old daughters, are any of us truly free?

Having a right to consular help for citizens of other countries has nothing to do with allowing them to be exempt from our laws. I doubt that you are really that dumb, so I'll chalk it up to you just being enthralled with meaningless one liners.

bullshit, if he isn't trying to stop it then he should sit down and stfu.

if he is trully guilty, yes.

What makes you think he is not guilty?

In the liberal mindset, anyone handed the Death Penalty is innocent. Because they do not agree with the punishment, the crime is invalid.
