Chief Justice Prolongs Executive Powers Debate« Thread Started on Oct 12, 2007, 10:43am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chief Justice Prolongs Executive Powers DebateBy Robert BarnesWashington Post Staff Writer Thursday, October 11, 2007; Page A08 read at source> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... letterWhen a case involves the power of the judiciary, the authority of the World Court, the role of Congress in enforcing treaties and the ability of states to ignore a direct order from the president, even the nine justices of the Supreme Court need more than an hour. So Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. told the attorneys to keep arguing -- and fellow justices kept pulling out copies of the Constitution and peppering the lawyers with questions -- long after the arguments in a complex case known as Medellin v. Texas were scheduled to come to an end yesterday.
