The woman has a substantive due process righ to life pursuant to the 14th Amendment. That is a federal issue. The Schindler's lawyers failed to raise this argument on Monday and now Terri's fate is in the hands of Justice Kenendy.
However, there are greater laws and principles than our Constitution. We all have an inherent right to life, and natural law vests us with the liberty to determine our own fate. At some point, if Terri Schiavo is to live purusant to these natural and inherent rights, extra consitutional measures become necessary. I support the executive branch taking such measures based on these natural law principles.
If you disagree, that is your right but be aware that the Constituiton as interpreted by the judiciary is now the final arbiter of your right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I agree with you.
Imagine a Clinton appointee in charge of your feeding tube! You'd be a goner, even if your ailment was gas and that feeding tube was really just your belt buckle!!
When it's legal to abort the less that perfect adult because someone else demands it, this country is in big trouble!
"...the Constituiton as interpreted by the judiciary is now the final arbiter of your right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
And according to Mark Levin in his new book "Men in Black", Congress is the entity that is supposed to interpret the Constitution not the judiciary. The judiciary appropriated that responsibility in the early 1800s and has never been challenged.
We are reaping the results today.
