Way to go Texas! Stay away from One World Government! This is fascinating…I wish George W. had a pair.

The United States must stay executions of five Mexicans on Texas’ death row until their cases can be reviewed, the U.N.’s highest court says.

Mexico requested that the court stop Texas from executing its citizens – at least one convicted of gang rape and murder of two teenage girls – claiming the U.S. is ignoring an International Court of Justice directive to evaluate the cases of 51 Mexicans on state death rows.

The court found that the inmates had been deprived of assistance from their consulate after their arrest, the Associated Press reported.

The U.N. court order issued today arrives only weeks before Texas’ scheduled lethal injection of Jose Medellin, a Mexican convicted of gang raping and murdering two girls in Houston.

Jose Medellin

According to the news report, Mexico chief advocate Juan Manuel Gomez-Robledo complained to the court at last months hearings, saying the U.S. was “in breach of its international obligations.”

U.S. legal adviser John Bellinger III disputed Gomez Robledo’s assessment, saying the government has gone to “extraordinary lengths” to cooperate with state courts and the World Court order.

President Bush told states to adhere to the court directive and asked Texas to review Medellin’s conviction before his Aug. 5 lethal injection.

Bellinger called the federal government actions “highly unusual.”

“It almost never happens that the federal government enters an appearance in state court proceedings,” he said.

Texas rejected the request, and the Supreme Court ruled President Bush does not have the power to force state courts to obey orders from the World Court in a 6-3 vote. According to the AP report, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has received letters from both Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Attorney General Michael Mukasey asking him to review Medellin’s case.

The World Court, the U.N.’s judicial arm for resolving disagreements between nations, holds no enforcement powers.

How ’bout “and Justice for all.” Medellin stole the girls Mickey Mouse watch as a souvenir trophy for his gang initiation.

Kentucky Pursues ‘In God We Trust’ License Plate

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, is seeking legislation authorizing “In God We Trust” license plates at no additional cost.

Joe Prather, Beshear’s transportation secretary, sent a letter Monday asking the state House and Senate transportation committees to pass legislation to create the plates.

Similar legislation passed the House this year, but failed in the Senate.

” ‘In God We Trust’ is essentially our national motto,” Beshear told The Courier-Journal. “And that national motto belongs to every American and indeed every Kentuckian. In my opinion, nobody should have to pay extra to have that national motto reflected on their license plate.”

Several states, including Indiana, South Carolina and North Carolina, offer “In God We Trust” license plates.—CitizenLink.org

See Virginia, there really is a decent Democrat.

For 95 years, Massachusetts has declined to provide marriage licenses to couples who can’t legally wed in their home states — which includes most same-sex couples. (Makes sense, huh?)

Now it looks like that 1913 law — which was upheld by the state’s highest court just two years ago — will be repealed, pushing gay “marriage” on the entire nation. (Woe, woe, woe… what?)

The state Senate voted Tuesday to repeal the law; the House is expected to vote soon. Gov. Deval Patrick has indicated he will sign the legislation. (Not if he wants to be re-elected.)

“The Massachusetts Senate has no right to infringe on the internal issues of how other states define marriage, but that’s exactly what they voted to do,” Kris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, told The Associated Press.

In their push to export same-sex “marriage,” Patrick and other Democrats are calling the 1913 law racist; pro-family state senators have received threats of being labeled “racist” if they express support for the law. (Racist? Deval Patrick should take a breathalyser after that comment. He’s either high or ignorant. Gays are now pulling the race card…only in Massachusetts)

The law dates to a time when the majority of states outlawed interracial marriages. Massachusetts has allowed interracial marriages since 1843, according to The AP. The state Supreme Court, which upheld the law in 2006, did not mention race in its opinion:

“The Commonwealth also has a significant interest in not meddling in matters in which another State, the one where a couple actually resides, has a paramount interest.

“Massachusetts can reasonably believe that nonresident same-sex couples primarily are coming to this Commonwealth to marry because they want to evade the marriage laws of their home States, and that Massachusetts should not be encouraging such evasion.” (It’s like giving a crackhead another toke.)

Mineau said he knows the real motive behind the repeal effort.

“There’s no justification for repealing this law other than to placate the homosexual agenda,” he said.

TAKE ACTION
If you live in Massachusetts, ask your state representative to preserve the 1913 law that is keeping same-sex “marriage” from being exported to other states. You can find contact information through our Action Center.
