Obama v. Texas Showdown

you're Chris welcome good to have you here today you can be with you mark it's great to have you explain this to us why at

try to bring legal claims right there how valid is that we've heard in a previous piece Atticus get your acted on that I

think of the legal back and forth this is going to the Supreme Court I one point president George W. bush I think that he thought that this was it

this was a good way act to protect our own people when they're in other countries to ensure that they would have the opportunity to talk to you

have consulate in similar cases well two points for the number one Rebecca Liao is unquestionably

and no one is seriously disputing that that he took this sixteen year old little girl that

he tortured her that he raped her that he beat her to death and as you mentioned a truly horrific crime and

nobody in this process is questioning his guilt so this is entirely a fight over a legal technicality over someone that is indisputably

ambitious child rapist and murderer the second point with this dispute all comes out it's a decision by the world

court which is the judicial arm of the United Nations the world court in two thousand five issued

an order to the United States to reopen the convictions are fifty one murderers across the country including America early now at

the time I was the Solicitor General of Texas and Texas park the world court we went to the U. S. Supreme Court I argued the case twice in front of the U. S. Supreme Court on

do things and Texas stood up and fought to defend the U. S. sovereignty and we won six three so

that the president di in this case and and the question is what happens this time around well

it's exactly the president the case in two thousand eight that we won concern because they are nesto marrying another murderer who just like right now hand

heading gang raped and tortured in in many cases two young girls again he unquestionably

one the world court doesn't have the power to bind the U. S. justice system the first time in history a foreign court and

tried to bind our justices and number two the president of the United States doesn't have the power to which

the U. S. justice system to obey the world court that's what president Barack Obama is trying to do not asking us what top

speak to the Mexican consulate about a defense that our own people will be in jeopardy when they find themselves in trouble with the law in other countries well

that argument is the identical argument that was raised in nineteen but it also is not true the question here is not whether

foreign nationals have a right to contact their consulate they knew nobody disputes that the question here after

mentioned ninety nations Klieman against us in the nineteen carries not a single one of those nations in

leading I will see what happens either turn around at that very interesting great to have you are here to talk to us about how

much experience in a similar case Ted Cruz thank you Sir mn
