Texas win Medellin Case

This was a strange case where President Bush ordered Texas how to enforce its law. I will have to read the case, but this discussion on Bloomberg caught by attention:

``When the honor of the nation is balanced against the modest cost of compliance, Texas would do well to recognize that more is at stake'' than the legal issues, Stevens wrote.

Unfortunately, it is not the first time that I have seen Supreme Court justices appealing to something other than the law.
