"""But overturning common law when it comes to a decision like this and creating precedent the national government has natural veto over all state issues and courts is not a wise decision.""""

Ah, Wisdom.

The Constitution reserves to the Federal Government the protectection of individual LIFE....

The American Revolution was without precedent.

Sorry, but no. The Constitution of these United States is a specific outlining of the limitation of powers of the federal, now national, government and nothing else. The 10th Amendment is clear. And the separation of powers is even clearer. Madison and Scalia both agree. And before you claim the 14th, all judges in this situation have stated clearly she received 'due process' as afforded under the Florida Constitution and since being thrown into the national courts, the US Constitution as well.

And we didn't have the Constitution then did we? Are you suggesting we subvert the rule of law and just have another American Revolution? That's good, rule by force and popular opinion instead of by republican (little r) law.

I do not wish this woman to die. But instead of all 'conservatives' running to the national government to fix their problems (which has no power in this situation) perhaps as Christians we should pray for a change of heart for all parties involved and that God's Will, not ours, is done. And be willing to accept the outcome whatever it be that He would receive the glory from it, and not us.
