I hope none of the "judicial murder!" crowd are going to be prattling on in different threads about "judicial activism" anymore...
Credibility, anyone?
What has bothered me about this all along is the blame given to those who tried to save her but who simply would not go beyond the legal constitutional limits of their jobs to do more. Had they done that we wouldn't respect their actions and they would have sacrificed all in the process.
Isn't the REAL issue here, the one that lives beyond Terri, the fact that death by starvation and dehydration is an accepted and common practice in every state?
