The Holocaust was perfectly legal and German judges repeatedly ruled that it was legal.
Many of those same judges got to explain their opinions to God after the Allied Tribunals at Nuremberg let the dangle at the end of a rope.
These fools who think the Constitution empowers state-sponsored murder should live so long to be killed by the beast they defend.

I respect the Constitution and the law, but I refuse to worship it. Laws are often as fallible and shortsighted as the beings that created them. They are not gods.
The "law" is no excuse for sentencing an innocent life to death, let alone a cruel and torturous death. Saying that it is an excuse is to exonerate the likes of Hitler and Stalin. It was their law of the land in their time.

Absolutely. I wish we had a Thomas Jefferson today: someone with the courage, brains, and resources to save her despite all this nonsense.
Truth is, I failed Terri too. I could have been on top of this issue much earlier. People like Jesse Jackson may have gotten on board a lot sooner. Many of us failed her, in one way or another. There's enough blame to pass around.
