Sending in federal marshalls would violate no law, especially given the fact that Judge Greer flagrantly snubbed a House subpoena.
Doing nothing to protect Terri now - while Congress haggles for hours on end - is wrong.
No, two wrongs do not make a right. That is not my point.
What Atty. Gen. Reno did was wrong because it was cruel and child abuse.
In this case no one will be harmed by sending in federal marshals.
Too many people have the mistaken idea that judges are gods who can do no wrong and whatever they say is the law. Some act like the executive and legislative branches must bow to judges. That is ludicrous. The other two branches are supposed to counter-balance the judiciary when it gets out of control.
This judge broke the law and therefore, Congress and the President have the right to act.
I never heard any sound claim from the right that Sick Willy broke the law when he grabbed Elian. It was a moral and ethical question about the disposition of his liberty not of the method used to achieve it. The method was objectionable, not illegal, because it circumvented due process (that might have been illegal) and the goal was to deny him liberty.
Is the Executive Branch the arm of government that acts on the law or not? Last I looked the Executive was in charge of enforcement and investigation.
