This Week:
World Court meddling in internal US affairs

On Friday, April 10, the Dispatch carried an AP article stating that the World Court, the "UN's highest judicial body, which has no enforcement powers," [yet] has demanded a stay of execution in a Virginia case. The case involves Angel Francisco Breard, a murderer convicted in the 1992 slaying and attempted rape of a Virginia woman. Mr. Breard hails from the country of Paraguay, which appealed to the World Court because they say the US did not inform Mr. Breard of his right to assistance from Paraguayan consuls.

If he got a trial in America, he got a fair trial by jury. We are not [again, yet] some thirld world hole where you are guilty until proven innocent, and we don't need the rest of the world telling us how to run our judicial system.

I say, as always, fry him. We need to send a message to the world: If you come to America to commit crime, you will have to pay for it. If your crime is vile enough, you will have to answer with your life. We are not going to house the world's criminals for life (or worse, let them go free) just because a bunch of Leftists in The Hague don't like the way we do things.

Eventually, the World Court will have enforcement power. The question is, how and who will enforce their meddling in the business of the individual states and of these United States?
