"The lesson of Terri is:

An arbitrary court will not be effectively restrained by the directly elected branches.

That fact puts government in default on its obligation to implement our Constitution."

Government - at all levels - has done everything within it's power to work around the limits placed upon it by the Constitution. It never stops, it never sleeps, it just keeps waiting for "We the People" to become comfortably numb enough to give it the opportunity to break out of its' cage altogether. We'd better wake the Hell up before it's too late.

The best outcome, I think, is not for the entire population to break out of its cage and cause a major change in government, but for individuals to act on their conscience and stoicly accept the consequences.

I would ask that congress people be asked to comment as to whether they personally, if standing next to Terri, would turn on the fluid drip and cheerfully be imprisoned.
