How, pray tell, do we 'force' Congress to do diddly-poop in time to save this woman's life?
We don’t. This is all but over for Terri.
And then there's the little point that the majority of the amoral, self-involved populace SUPPORTS this atrocity.
THAT’S a big part of this problem. Remember Roe vs Wade? The left went ahead and forced that on us through the courts. Examine it that situation intellectually, leaving out the terrible act that it endorses. If you look at what that did to the country, it tore it apart. There you can see how acting without the majority of the country behind you, it most likely will backfire, This Shiavo case illustrates an enormous issue, at least as big as abortion, and we can’t afford to have it backfire. We need the country behind us. Not 100%, but certainly more than we have now. When we get that level of public support we can get the Congressmen we need, and force (through public press) the rest to vote to change the system.
Sorry, pal, if this were my daughter being murdered the judge and her husband would already be dead. I would not be having a rhetorical intellectual discussion with anyone about judicial blah, blah, blah.
Well, if that were my son or daughter, I might do the same. It is much easier to sit here behind a keyboard and type “It’s all over for Terri”. I’ve been through a lot in life, and I kind of know the pain the parents are feeling. I’ll stay here behind the keyboard as long as I can.
I'll add one more thing. The country is now in the hands of the conservatives, not the liberals. The courts and academia still belong to the left. If we play our cards right, cool, calm, and with assurance, we will prevail.
Dear Balding_Eagle,
"The courts and academia still belong to the left."
Well, not quite.
A majority federal judges in the United States were appointed by Republicans.
Six out of nine of the Supreme Court, seven out of 12 of the 11th Circuit Appeals Court, which turned down Terri's appeal, and most of the federal district court judges in the US.
Doesn't seem to have done much good.
