  • I'm no lawyer...

    But doesn't the constitution state that all states must abide by treaties signed by Congress and no state can negotiate or nullify a treaty? So isn't the state of Texas nullifying a treaty by not granting this man access to his consulate? And by doing so, isn't the death penalty ruling unconstitutional?
