HOUSTON -- A state appeals court chastised President Bush for intervening in the case of a condemned killer born in Mexico, one of several dozen cases in which Bush ordered new hearings amid international complaints.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals yesterday rejected the argument from Jose Ernesto Medellin that he was denied legal help specified in international treaties.
Medellin, 31, who spent most of his life in Texas, was sentenced in 1994 to die for the rapes and killings of two teenage girls.
"We hold that the president has exceeded his constitutional authority by intruding into the independent powers of the judiciary," the court said in a 64-page ruling.
Exceeded his constitutional authority?
Wait till Cheney here's about this one.
The Judge is hereby notified NOT to accept a free hunting trip with the vice president.
Activist judges can really be a pain.
Damn those liberal Texans!
Wait. What?
Texas has liberals, but we try to keep them in Houston/Austin/Dallas driving pink volvos.
From your screen name, I assume you're from La Grange.

Try just Austin. Though Dallas did throw out a bunch of Republicans this cycle

Oh, we've got some liberal counties down south. Hispanic voters, ya know.

You would assume wrong.
You either don't know your Texas culture, or have no sense of humor.
What a gem.

Conservatism has nothing to do with being Republican just as liberalism has nothing to do with being a Democrat. Houston & Dallas are much more liberal than most of the state, except for Austin & that is a mini San Francisco.
Angels and ministers of grace defend us.
A foxfyre clone.

Cooincidentally, Austin is also by far the best place to live in Texas.
Just as San Francisco is one of the best places to live in America.
Funny how Liberalism and quality of life tend to go hand in hand, innit?

San Francisco is a wonderful place to live if one has no morals, hates the military, & loves to pay taxes so their city employees can have sex change surgery at the expense of the tax payers.
Incredibly beautiful, clean air, public transportation, diversity, leading arts and culture centers.
Nice people, relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of money for those looking for the big bucks.

That's a pretty worldy view ya got there LSM.... obviously you must have finally gotten cable in Crawford....
I'm not sure what your personal morals have to do with the place you live. I support individual freedoms and the right for people to democratically make their opinions known. So even if I don't agree with everything that people do, I support their right to self-determine.
I lived in Austin for the last 9 years or so...

If you want to know where I live, just ask, don't be so shy.
I imagine that Crawford got cable when Cindy Sheehan held her anti-military/American rallys there.

You are right, personal morals have nothing to do with where one lives, & I apologize for saying it does. I should've said
if one wants to live in a place where anything goes, SF is the place for it
You still live in Austin?
