US Supreme Court rules on state criminal vs. international law/presidential powers

ADVERTISEMENTS
The United States Supreme Court has issues a 6-3 decision in Medellin v. Texas. In a 6-3 opinion, authored by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court holds that neither a decision by the International Court of Justice or a Memorandum by the President was a directly enforceable binding federal law on Texas in its determination of whether the defendant was entitled to file a second, successive habeas petition. Justice Stevens issued an opinion concurring in the judgment. Justice Breyer filed a dissenting opinion that was joined by Justices Ginsberg and Souter.
