The Curious Case of Ted Cruz and Jose Medellin

Jose Medellin, illegal alien, rapist, and murder, was put to death in Huntsville, Texas in August 2008, despite a "stay of execution" from the World Court and repeated attempts by the Bush Administration to have his case re-heard...

B.I.H. Jose Medellin...

But they said Ted Cruz is establishment, that the Bush's always loved him.

Jose Medellin was a demon on Earth. I hope he sucking Satans cock in hell for an eternity.

Not so much after Cruz whipped the Bush Admin, and U.N.'s ass in SCOTUS...

George W. never forgave him for that...

Bush was trying to make nice with the Mexicans, who for some reason always need to be made nice with, at the expense of those two dead girls. Bush should be ashamed.

Good for Cruz for standing up for those girls.

I remember the U.N. Was very upset after that case. Here George W Bush was signing away sovereignty to them, and Texas came in and fucked it all up.

Bush was pissed too, he thought it was a walk. Here he was the former Governor of Texas, he thought he could just tell them to do it and everyone would bend over...

How'd that shit work out for him?

I recall maybe a few months ago, I heard it reported that George W. Bush said of Ted Cruz, "I just don't like the guy." Even though I voted for Trump, that makes me like Cruz, especially that he fought and won against yet another globalist sellout by Bush.

I'm from College Station. I remember seeing how betrayed those little girls families felt by Bush doing that. It was all over the news when Cruz won the Supreme Court ruling in it. I remember neither girls families could even talk to the media after the ruling, they were just weeping in relief.

Good post, ST, well done.

Medellin was a world class piece of shit, there was no doubt about his guilt, he confessed and knew all the details...

He deserved to die for that.

Glad Texas stood firm on that fact.

geez- very good info ST

Cruz for me is hard to get a real feel for

seems that is always the case

Cruz is the most conservative candidate the GOP has had in years. But he is a politician. And his name is not Trump so good luck converting anyone around here.

I am now rooting for a Trump-Clinton race. Which would open the best opportunity the Libertarian Party has ever had.

I think if people would look at the Nine Cases Ted Cruz argued before SCOTUS, the brilliance of the arguments, the reasons for the cases, and the fact that he won all NINE!!!

Ted does come across pretty scripted, people need to see a more personal side to him, his reasoning.

If it's Trump vs Clinton I'll be voting for Gary Johnson again this time...

Yeah Cruz is not as charismatic as Trump, he comes across as Scripted and even wooden a lot of times. See I knew him from his time as Solicitor General, and I knew his ideology and frankly his intelligence...

You can see it if you look back at his SCOTUS cases, he's absolutely brilliant. But just to listen to him on a stage it doesn't come across as well.

I'll tell you this about Ted Cruz (for anyone who's interested, and I know a lot of you aren't), the guy is a Constitutional Genius. He knows it backwards and forwards, and he's voted in that vein for the four years he's been in the Senate.

If he doesn't get to run for President I hope someone will consider him for a SCOTUS seat at some point...

There's a lot of disinformation out there about Cruz, but there's a reason he's very well loved here in Texas. We like him in the Senate sure, but we also remember the things he did before he took the Senate seat.

Greg Abbott called him a Constitutional Genius. He lives, breathes, and votes it. I don't see him changing that as President.

I think he's our best chance for a return to true Constitutional Government.

I remember when the Jose Medellin thing came up. There was actually a connection to this guy and a death in my family...this after he was in prison (but that's a story for another time), and I was Shocked Bush came out with the stance he did on that. After being Governor and presiding over so many executions then to come out in favor of Mexico, the U.N., and the International Court...

Bush sold the fuck out, then got butthurt when his allies like Perry, Abbott, and Cruz abandoned him on that issue.

Good find, Saddletramp.

I might have to take a closer look at Cruz before we vote here.

starting to think I should pin a Cruz thread

LOL

:damnedbig:

pinned

need some balance on the site


Ted Cruz - this should be fun

It's not a big deal to me one way or another, but I do think Cruz gets a raw deal on a lot of disinformation a lot of the time. If people knew about his personal accomplishments they would identify with him better...

That's partly the media's fault, and it's partly Cruz's fault for not getting those Nine SCOTUS cases out there for people to look at.

Thanks for the pin.

I remember it well

It was a big deal for Bush, the fact that his home state came back and fought him tooth and nail on that one...

Bush was really butthurt after that loss.

I was a Cruz fan for years for his stands in the Senate

He is just so God awful as a candidate - awful

he is butt ugly also

saying that as a voting adult I am not supposed to be swayed

by such things !!!
