To: Long Cut
We have no problem with FReepers who wish to debate in a rational and fair manner

Okay....I'll play along.

First, definitions. Nazisism--> Engaging in, and supporting conduct, and programs enacted by Third Reich. Let us be clear on that, because THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM ASKING

1. How, is what George Greer doing, any different, except in scale than what Eichmann did? They Both after all, claimed to be following the Law....(Without Conscience or morality).

2. I thought conservatives were disdainful of Judicial Activism, which is what this turned into when Whittemore decided to pretend that Congress' Teri's Law did not exist. (The merits of Congress doing what they did is a separate matter.)

Note from the dissent.

WILSON, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
I strongly dissent from the majority’s decision to deny the request for an
injunction pursuant to the All Writs Act and the request for a preliminary
injunction. First, Plaintiffs have demonstrated their entitlement to a preliminary
injunction. Second, the denial of Plaintiffs’ request for an injunction frustrates
Congress’s intent, which is to maintain the status quo by keeping Theresa Schiavo
alive until the federal courts have a new and adequate opportunity to consider the
constitutional issues raised by Plaintiffs. The entire purpose for the statute was to
give the federal courts an opportunity to consider the merits of Plaintiffs’
constitutional claims with a fresh set of eyes. Denial of Plaintiffs’ petition cuts
sharply against that intent, which is evident to me from the language of the statute,
as well as the swift and unprecedented manner of its enactment. Theresa Schiavo’s
death, which is imminent, effectively ends the litigation without a fair opportunity
to fully consider the merits of Plaintiffs’ constitutional claims......

It's not the case, it's others calling freepers nazi's, the civility of discussion has been pretty much been absent throughout this story. If someone asks a reasonable question for verification, posts something that is not the prevailing thought, they are immediately labeled a nazi and pro-death ghoul, which is for most of us, not the case at all. I've pretty much refrained from posting my position on this because most of you would be shocked. So, I'm labeled satan's spawn because I chose to post on a thread that hasn't degenerated into a flame war.
