there are no federal or constitutional issues at stake

Not even equal protection? When activists are able to raise doubt about the fairness of a trial that convicted a murderer he gets the benefit of doubt. But not Mrs. Shiavo?

Good thing Helen Keller was born when she was. Steven Hawkins had better watch out though.

One thing that I know for sure is that people on one side or other are lying! And when this is over with I want an accounting, please.

And just what is a "constitutional crisis." To wit, the Congress expected the federal courts to evaluate the facts, if I understand the purpose of last weekend's legislation. The courts did not.

The Congress can "ordain and establish" inferior courts. The Congress is not inferior to those courts -- and the Congress is suppose to be equal to the Supreme Court.

If a crackpot mullah (judge) decrees that the Constitution did not mean that every president should be the commander-in-chief but in modern times the commander-in-chief can be appointed by the U.N. would the president submit to avoid a "constitutional crisis"?

Terri Schiavo's substantive due process right to life pursuant to the 14th amendment has been violated. That is a federal consrtuttional issue.
