In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Alabama Supreme Court Justice goes beyond Lachrymose

"Terri's forced starvation, what one critic called ‘the longest public execution in American history,' directly violates the Constitution of the State of Florida which mandates that ‘No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability,’ (Article 1, Section 2)." No judicial order can change that."

"By unduly exalting the judiciary and excusing the executive and legislative branches of government from their constitutional duty to protect life and the most vulnerable members of our society, the Schiavo case establishes a dangerous precedent of judicial supremacy."
