The Supreme Court ruled in favor of states’ rights this morning. In Medellin v. Texas, the state sought to enforce its death penalty law notwithstanding a contrary ruling of the International Court of Justice (i.e., the U.N.’s “World Court”) and the Bush administration’s unconstitutional attempt to force the state to heed the ICJ. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the opinion for the 6-3 Court.

For some background, Ramesh wrote about the case here, and I wrote this piece for Human Events.
