Let's look at this in another light. If I as an American went down to mexico, and found me a young girl, raped and killed her, is there a single American here that would ask the president to call mexico and ask them to halt the LYNCHING I would receive?
No one is defending him. We just want the letter of the law followed unlike conservatives apperantly!!!
The law you are referring to is a federal treaty and would in fact be applicable in a federal court, however, in a state court is not applicable. There is nothing in that treaty that requires that it be applicable at anything other than the federal level.
'Hey Axelrod, how many hispanic votes do you think I can pick up if I inject my 2 cents into trying to stop the execution of an illegal alien rapist muderer?'
Obama could grant this guy executive clemency any time he feels like it, but doesn't dare do so with an election coming up. Once he (heaven forbid!) gets re-elected don't doubt for a second that he'll do just that.
HOW many times does it have to be repeated for you to understand?
The President Of The United States .. cannot .. Repeat .. cannot pardon a State Prisoner!
Reality is the Obama is a **** poor excuse for a president. However, he did not get there by himself. He will lie, cheat, and steal to become reelected. His only goal is to be in the presidency (without having to be the president) for as long as it takes to bring the country down. He IS a Communist (the socialist kind) and Muslim ( he hates real Christians and has said so in writing), to him this country represents everything that is wrong with the world. He even hates white people, rerason why most of the black population (a lot a racists there) love him in spite the fact that he is taking them down with him. The only solution is to elect real conservatives at ALL levels of the government and make sure thse people do what is Constitutionally correct.
obama can execute people all around the world with drones and bombs without even a trial and conviction but whines when it is done legally under the law. what an idiot
People?
That includes US citizens who are, um, "interfering with US interests," uh, whatever that means (and I would be afraid to guess).

That is a technicality. You can argue whether it is a "major" or "minor" technicality. Texas failed to comply with an international treaty to which the US is bound, so it's a mistrial, and he's re-tried and re-convicted and then finally executed at great cost and expense to the Texas taxpayers, but that's their fault and they need to school their prosecutors a little better when dealing with legal or illegal immigrants.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled that states can't be forced to comply with the provisions of treaties without some intervening federal legislation.
Facts are a bothersome thing for some people.
