Obama calls for halt to Texas execution:Mexican was convicted of raping, killing San Antonio girl

The Houston Chronicle reports:
The Obama administration took the unusual step Friday of asking the Supreme Court to stop Texas from executing a Mexican citizen convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl.
The administration said the court should delay the planned July 7 execution of Humberto Leal for up to six months to give Congress time to consider legislation that would directly affect Leal's case.

The Obama regime: going for the convicted rapist vote.
