Illegals Can Rape and Kill Yet We Must Get Mexico’s Approval to Punish?
by The case and extent of efforts to thwart justice is examined and discussed.
The Obama administration has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the execution. Here is a quote from that request:
The execution of Humberto Leal Garcia, who was sentenced to death for the 1994 crimes, “would place the United States in irreparable breach of its international-law obligation to afford (Leal) review and reconsideration of his claim that his conviction and sentence were prejudiced by Texas authorities’ failure to provide consular notification and assistance under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations,” wrote Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., in a friend-of-the-court brief

This has placed Texas Governor Rick Perry in a straight. He has already stated that he does not have this authority under Texas law without the consent of the Parole Board. Perry who is expected to enter the race for the GOP presidential nominee, is also being bombarded with citizens urging him not to intervene in the execution. If ordered to do so by the Supreme Court, I don’t know that he has much choice at all, but either way, there will be those who blame him. It is obvious that he does not wish to intervene and I feel confident that he will not unless he is faced with no other option.
This is only one more reason that the United States should throw the United Nations out of this country and withdraw membership. The same goes with the world court in the Hague, and also the rules contained in the Geneva Convention. There is nothing more unfair than for others to tell us how we should abide by strict rules while they, themselves break them with impunity. Despite the fact that the U.S. has been known for it’s charitable efforts to almost every nation at one time or another and our tremendous amount of funds paid annually in foreign aid and in trade, many countries despise us and are delighted to see us damaged or hurt in any way. These prejudices show themselves in the global organizations and is a sound reason not to partake of them.
Treaties with countries we trust and to form reciprocal pledges of defense are wise and good, but to waste time and money on those who hate us, only to be stabbed in the back when we need their support, is a lack of sanity.
This particular case with Garcia, is a perfect example. Suppose an American had committed such an act in Iran. Even Pakistan, or almost any other country. How much mercy and consideration would be extended? Even carrying a bible into some countries can cause one extreme grief. The United States can certainly remain one of the “Good Guys” and always see that justice is done, but to allow justice to be thwarted only because of those who despise us, is unacceptable.
