Bush: What IS He Up To Now?

G.W. Bush, current title holder of president of the U.S; staunch republican stalwart, untiring defender of conservatives ideologies, no respect for any outside his social circle, no respect for the  rights or lives of those who oppose him, leader in executions (by far;150 as governor of Texas, bro. Jeb was 2nd),  war monger who repeatedly trampled or tried to trample on human & constitutional rights and international law.  Love him or hate him, THIS IS G.W. Bush.
       But whats this?
 Scenario:
 Mexican immigrant, convicted of raping and murdering two adolescent girls in texas.
Expected outcome? 
Death penalty for sure, as quickly as possible too.
Enter
bleeding heart liberals, in this case the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, ruling that the U.S, violated a treaty by not offering the accused access to Mexican consular officials after their arrest. mind you they arent even arguing guilt here but rather just a  violation of a simple right; a right that would have undoubtedly had NO impact on the outcome of their guilt or innocence anyway.

Enter: the cowboy, the gunslinger, the rustler, G.W. Bush-whacker.  Surely he would just "bitch-slap **"  them as he has done countless times to nations around the world.  
    Ahhh but just when you thought you knew Bush, he about faces and stays the execution!  Huh? What happened here?  This action violates the Bush principles on so many fronts; Bushies are in an uproar, stunned that their onetime hero, , is going against them on a case that combines three of the issues closest to their heart: immigration, the death penalty and international sovereignty.
But the real lesson the right wing should take from the case is that the presidential power they so jealously defend when it is used against foreign nationals looks a lot less attractive when it's applied at home.

The real  hidden agenda in all this?
 According to Thomas Goldstein, (head of Supreme Court practice of the Washington law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld LLP).
 "The idea is that you can essentially write the states a note and tell them what to do. It's a very novel assertion of presidential powers."

Conservative must weigh their desire to expand presidential powers with their hatred of  infringement on states' rights, while liberals mut decide between complying with international law and NOT using federal power to do it.
