Hear, hear!

Amazing how many are willing to throw due process overboard as soon as it doesn't come up with the result they desire.

Doing your constitutional duty is NOT against the law.

It is not just what "result we desire." The moral basis of Terri's right to nutriition is primarily God's law, but it is also natural law. Any child knows that a disabled person needs to eat and drink.

We would desire that the right thing be done. If the Governor can take action and he refrains for some unexplained reason, all we have is what we see. Is he being bullied? Is he afraid of some dark secret in his past being made public? Is someone blackmailing him?

If it's really as clear as it looks, and it seems to be so, then his duty is to uphold the principle of common decency, in the face of a corrupt judiciary, just as the nurses did and suffered the consequences.

Incidentally, is anyone doing something to help the nurses out to thank them for their honorable deeds?

Due process was meant to protect the innocent. Some seem to forget that at times.
