Bush wants the State of Texas to pardon illegal immigrant who confessed to murdering and raping two teenage girls commuted to a life sentence - WTF!!??

I think pardon is overstating it. But apparently he DID agree to block the death sentence, as ordered by an international court. Not good news.

(for the GOP, for states' rights, for America...)

If the court agrees there are 50 more illegals that could have their sentences commuted. (Fox News)

eh I dunno man.... illegal immigration is a big issue and on top of that he didnt start acting like this until the democrats took office. Pelosi was looking awfully smug that day when she was sitting across from him in his office. sorry but I don't buy it. I do buy that he's an asshole and is not acting in the best interests of the people, but I think there are a few things he's doing on his own accord i.e. NAFTA and Patriot Act, however I think there's also some shit he's being coerced into in order to make the republican party look idiotic in order to get more votes for the coming election. I really do believe Pelosi is pulling some shit behind the curtains...... I just don't see how the dude can suddenly flip out, especially over an issue such as rape and murder. I don't buy it, not for a second. something isn't right. Despite overwhelming protest from the democratic party, Pelosi stated there would be no impeachment and I believe she is using that to get what she wants.

Oh, and frankly, as soon as this bad guy had an attorney, the attorney should have researched or known of the consular law.  That he did not may give rise to a malpractice action, but should not harm a case in which the criminal admits guilt regardless.

1) The Mexicans do extradite enough BGs to make this one BG not worth it (esp when he will die in a TX prison either way)...

2) When those people go down to MX without government sanction, and proceed to violate MX law in the process of retrieving said fugitives, yes, we extradite them... That's what the treaty says we're supposed to do...

Just like if a MX bounty hunter came up into the US, and broke a bunch of laws to capture a MX fugitive...


Bush can do no wrong in your eyes!!

and Dog the bounty hunter was capturing an American fugitive, not a Mexican fugitive.

He also didnt break "a bunch of laws", he just broke one law that says professional bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico.

You know, for once I'd like to see us act like the dominant power in the world and have people compromise for us.  We'll execute the bastard, and if Mexico wants to start shit by cancelling the treating we'll just go Blackjack on their ass again.

I, for one, don't want to invade Mexico. Frankly there's nothing in Mexico I think we want.

Dave_A is right...there are larger issues at stake here.

The issue you are hitting at here is that we've been such nice guys for such a long time that nations like Mexico don't give a second thought about trying to cornhole us over the fate of some thug bastard like this one, and it's a damn good point....

THe Mexican consulate was not notified of his arrest.

The US signed a treaty with just about every nation on the planet saying that if you arrest a foriegner the arresting officer will offer to notify the suspects consulate.

I dont know about Texas but here they dont have us memorize consulate telephone numbers. So i ask the suspect "Would you like me to notify your consulate?" which usually gets a response of "Que?" but i have met the letter of the law. if he says "Si" I'll be happty to do that for your senior...whats the number? Oh you dont know either.

No.  The Mexican rich white upper class is running a scam where they get the US taxpayer to pay for their poor.  They don't want to pay for anything.  That is why they are doing this in the first place.  So no, we don't get to bill them for anything.

So why is Bush doing this?  He's a liberal New England country club Republican who can relate more to Mexico's rich white upper class than to Americans in general.  And he wants to help his friends.

OR perhaps because he is president of the United States and every decision he makes carries levels of suck with it.

He could be simply weighing the level of suck in this one case against the level of suck caused in the future if he doesn't play ball with Mehico on this one and deciding to stick with the lesser of two sucks.

People don't seem to realize that being president is often choosing from a menu ranging from bad to truly awful.

How in the world is pushing a developed country with a corrupt upper class to care for their own poor a bad choice?  Mexico has to play ball with us not the other way around.  That is what is really tragic here.  Mexico can't piss us off that badly.  We have them by the balls.  And GW acts like it is the exact opposite.

And no, there isn't something that he knows that I don't.  I heard that line during his father's administration as well and you know ... he turned out to be just he dumbass we thought he was.  His kid doesn't appear to have any hidden depths we don't know about either.  He's just wrong.

AWB sunset:  he said he would sign it if it came to his desk.
Obviously, he probably knew it wouldn't, so that made it easy to play both sides.
BUT, what if it had come to his desk?  He signed the campaign finance reform with no hesitations, even after he said he opposed it.
Short answer:  we will never know what he would have done.  So that's not a "plus" for him.

SCOTUS appointees:  We'll see how they actually play out.  We haven't had any good, hard decisions come before them yet.  
Remember, he nominated Harriet Myers.  "Trust me" he said.
That's a plus?


This guy is a traitor.  Plain and simple.  He's the best president Iraq and Mexico ever had.
