The World Court should go screw itself.

This is one of the reasons I like living in Texas.

Because of a procedural snafu we're supposed to have this dirtbag get a new trial? Noted.

And please don't give me the, "we're all God's children" sob story. Really. To get a taste of what this guy is like, here's a letter that made the Editorial Section of the local fish wrap, responding to it's position that Medellin should get a new trial (emphasis added by myself):

This man changed my mind
I was so sad after I read the editorial. If these were your two daughters, would you feel the same way?

I have met José Medellín. I wrote him. I have run a death row ministry in Texas for years.

He has never shown any remorse. He has proudly confessed. I used to be opposed to the death penalty until I met José.

Where is your respect and sympathy for the victims and their families? You have not even mentioned the two girls this sick creep murdered, or their families.

José Medellín found it convenient to be a Mexican citizen when he found out it could save him.

What a disgrace to all the good, honest, law-abiding Mexicans.

Execute him already. The girls, along with their families, deserve justice.

Some opponents of the needle as a means of execution claim it's actually extremely painful. I'd say that in this case we can certainly hope so.
