Congress didn't exercise arbitrary power, they set the case to go to Federal court, a power that is specifically enumerated for Congress in the Constitution. Of course you knew that.

"Congress didn't exercise arbitrary power, they set the case to go to Federal court, a power that is specifically enumerated for Congress in the Constitution. Of course you knew that."

Well said ... we already have Federal habeas corpus review and other state action reviews in all areas of our lives ... I get suspicous of these 'sky is falling' claims when the scope of the law is so NARROW. Federalism is now dead when it comes to cases where a state judge orders the killing of a disabled individual... so what, Federalism has died in huge swathes of Government years/decades ago.

To insist against this law is to insist on giving killers more rights in Federal courts than innocent disabled individuals. Feh on that. A bad law can be repealed ... but bad Judicial rulings seem to have no corrective mechanism.
