State Sovereignty Recognized By Supreme Court
The pathetic life of a vicious muderer came to an end in Texas today.
During the 15 year long appeals process, the UN and Mexican courts attempted to interfere with American and Texan sovereignty. The US Supreme Court ruled that Texas was not bound by the rulings of foreign courts, nor was it bound by federal demands to hold the execution. In short, Texas’ state sovereignty was unquestionably upheld.
And better that it is so, because the man they put to death today deserved it.
You know, Mexico doesn’t have a death penalty, and look what it’s got them: the most corrupt large government on Earth, gangs control entire states in Mexico, people fleeing by the millions. Perhaps if they adopted the death penalty, Mexico might one day become a decent place to live.
Instead there are people there like Reyna Armendariz, a cousin of the executed murderer, who said “only God has the right to take a life.” Funny, Reyna’s cousin didn’t seem to feel that way. Maybe its all just part of that silly machismo thing; you get to think you’re God.
And frankly, it makes me ill to think that her opinion is getting anything other than ridicule in America. Tell the press we don’t care what Mexican Nationals think about us. They should obey our laws on our turf. That’s the message Texas sent today, loud and clear.
