So a court can never rule a governor's or a legislature's action invalid?

And nothing in politics is ever decided -- not even temporarily?

And everything has to end with blood in the streets?

Sometimes you have to choose your battles in politics.

So far as I can tell, Bush stayed out of the Elian Gonzalez case -- maybe because it was a federal matter.

He did what he could for Terry Schiavo -- that was more than other governors might.

Should he have gone further? Maybe he should have, but my point was that it's easy to say things like that if you aren't actually the person responsible.

What is it with you guys and the violent thing? Why can’t a Gov simply invoke the 10th and take it to the USSC first? Is that such a radical notion? I mean that’s the constitutional thing to do. Why does everything have to end with capitulation before any fight even starts?
