Bush Attacks U. S. Sovereignty
Would Let World Court Rule Over Us

Cruz: : If the world court has the ability to trump the Supreme Court of the United States, that will gravely undermine the sovereignty of the American people. -- Note: Would this mean sanctuary cities are wrong?
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- October 10
    Rep. McCall: They see a Mexican national that's come into our state, violating our state laws, brutally raped and brutally killed two girls. And then they use this counselor notification loophole, if you will, to get a federal -- a foreign tribunal, again, to intervene and get them off Death Row. I think our constituents are outraged about this case.
    Rep. Poe: Let me follow up on that, Lou. I was a judge when this occurred. I've met the families of the victims. And even under Texas standards, which has a lot of notorious killings, this is one of the worst.
    This defendant, his guilt is overwhelming. He confessed. He bragged about killing these two girls. And he never once complained about this counselor issue for ten years. And now he wants to avoid the fate of the death penalty, and it's very, very unfortunate.
    People are very irritated about the position the president has taken in this case.
