So right now that's suspect America -- all faces execution after 6 PM central time this evening and last the Supreme Court steps in.

Let's talk about it more with Texas congressman Michael McCall he is chairman of the homeland security oversight and investigations subcommittee is also a former.

Texas deputy attorney general so you have heard the Obama White House saying that this is going to do irreparable harm -- to US interests if this execution goes forward should it.

I think it should go forward I think with the -- Obama administration's trying to do.

This inner being and defies Supreme Court precedent.

And the state of Texas and laws from the state of Texas on this counselor notification issues.

And remember this is a cold blood killer.

That raped and brutally grotesque week.

Raped and murdered the sixteen year old he deserves to be executed but when you look at that the law here the consulate notification.

Issue was waived it was never timely asserted.

In under Texas law if it's if it's -- its way with the Obama administration's trying to do is say that this international -- justice.

And the UN takes priority over the laws of the United States and our constitution our -- -- totally disagree with me.

The attorney general Eric Holder says if the US goes forward with his execution it could have adverse.

Consequences for American citizens who might get arrested.

Overseas is that a value.

Valid argument.

Yeah I I don't think so I think if they wanna talk to our conference office they have that right mr.

Garcia have that right.

Mr.

Garcia did not assert that right and now at the eleventh hours trying to throw the -- -- Before the US Supreme Court so you.

Few months of execution might go for.

I think this existed a defense.

Criminal defense border point the last minute it was waved it was never time -- asserted and frankly he confessed.

-- this brutal killing prior to any.

A rest and that was made.

So counselor notification wouldn't have any prejudicial affect his case that simply would have made any difference in this case.

It's let me turn your attention to another Texas case that has legal ramifications and where the death penalty is in play and talking about.

The army court -- coming now against major Nadal Hasan the suspect in the Fort Hood rampage.

He's charged with thirteen counts of premeditated murder 32 counts of attempted murder.

And the army says it it is a death penalty court -- coming up you agree with the prospects here.

I I do agree with that assessment I think good command.

The army for going forward.

Finally almost after two years with the death penalty case -- an here's an individual.

Who killed thirteen of our soldiers on a military base I went to the the funeral ceremony it was very.

This very emotional and an unborn child that if he doesn't deserve the death -- only.

I don't know who does in this country and I think this'll be treated as they a criminal.

Homicide prosecution.

I'm looking forward to holding hearings after this.

Prosecution -- really get to the bottom.

So what was motivating mr.

assigned -- his contacts with on more Milwaukee.

That the terrorists in Yemen.

What was -- connection to Pakistan.

There are so many unanswered questions about his overseas connections.

And what he was really doing and his radicalization during the process.

And which the military did nothing and finally.

The information the joint terrorism task force had about mr.

-- Lockheed.

His communications with majors on at Fort Hood why wasn't that information shared with general cone.

At Fort Hood.

When it could've possibly stop the murder of the thirteen soldiers.
