Three More And It Would've Been Perfect.

From ScotusBlog:

The Supreme Court, in a sweeping rejection of claims of power in the
presidency, ruled 6-3 on Tuesday that the President does not have the
authority to order states to relax their criminal procedures to obey a
ruling of the World Court. The decision came in the case of Medellin v. Texas
(06-984). Neither a World Court decision requiring U.S. states to
provide new review of criminal cases involving foreign nationals, nor a
memo by President Bush seeking to enforce the World Court ruling,
preempts state law restrictions on challenges to convictions, the Court
said in a ruling written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.

It's always nice to see an International Organization get it's butt kicked by us Americans.
