U.S. Courts may bow to International Law.

The Bush administration intervened in the capitol murder case of illegal immigrant Jose Medellin. This 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.

The court said that the United States was in violation of the Vienna Convention and therefore must comply. Keep in mind that this is the same court that has selectively ignored the Bush laws regarding torture.

The justices on the U.S. Supreme court are expected to uphold international law. This is presumed because Medellin has been sentenced to death for the murder of two Houston teenagers. Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena who were both 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 court is expected to overturn the conviction because three of the seven Supreme Court justices are against the death penalty, and the one swing judge has a reputation for upholding international law in the in matters of such challenges.

This will be a very sad decision, because for the first time in American history the United States will be recognizing the laws of the Hague international court as superior to our own Supreme Court and U.S. Constitution.

This Bush sponsored attack on the U.S. Constitution must be objected to as it is a slap in the face from both him and the Mexican President Felipe Calderón who encourages his people to ignore our borders and seek employment in the united states.

Please write your congressman and complain vehemently that our country is sovereign and not subject to the laws of the foreign courts. Attorneys can write amicus curia briefs to the judges of the U.S. Supreme court urging them to dismiss this case as having no jurisdiction. Please mobilize and start working to fight this fast.
