Interesting article. Thanks.

Interesting. It also leaves me breathless that the federal judge ignored the law Congress passed to do a de novo review, although I think judges can always decide whether or not to take a case. At this point I am hoping for a Roe v Wade decision from the Supremes that gets the government out of this entirely and rules that end of live decisions should be between a patient, his family, and his doc. No lawsuits.

The problem is the fact that this isn't a "Constitutional" issue. This is a state/federal law issue. The government is stepping in and virtually changing judicial review. They are trying to get the federal court to intervene in a case that falls rightfully under the jurisdiction of state court. In my opinion, this is an abuse of power, no matter what I think of her fate.
