Well, the provided quote was:
Quote:
" Texas did not sign the Vienna Convention, so why should we be subject to it ? "
All the rest of these posts have been guesses as to the context,. But it is not necessary to know the context to realise that the stattement is legally incorrect on its face. Texas does not sign any treaties - the US does. If the US signs a treaty, then Texas is subject to it.

In other words, it's a stupid statement, however it is connected to the death penalty.
