Re: Medellin v. Texas, i.e. the decision that says that Texas can ignore international treaties and give Mexican citizens the death penalty if it wants to without telling Mexico about it first, and Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, the decision that says that the Bush administration cannot always deny suspected terrorists of their rights, Orin Kerr says the following:
Reading over Chief Justice Roberts' Medellin opinion, it reminds me a lot of Justice Stevens' majority opinion in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld in 2006. ... Of course, the people who like both Hamdan and Medellin could probably meet  in a phone booth. (And Justice Kennedy is already in the phone booth.)  But the two decisions seem pretty similar to me.
LOL <3, except I think Justice Kennedy is kind of very silly.
