I also want to say that the Florida Legislature was just plain wrong in giving Gov. Bush the power to review this case. It's terrible public policy to legislate for one special case. Special cases are for the courts. If we can change the law in a day, on a whim, then we don't have rule of law. Rule of law made America great and it was the backbone of everyone of our freedoms. We try and establish rule of law in other countries, because it's vital for economic growth and personal liberty. More and more, we've moved away from the rule of law, and it's dangerous. You can't have a society where the rules that you live by can change any day, and can change retroactively.This is so right that it bears repeating over and over!

I agree that we can't be changing laws left and right, case by case. But we aren't talking about rules you live by. In this case, we are talking about rules you die by.

Then instead of disrupting the threads on Terri, why don't you all ban together as a force like we did and take it to the Legislature?
Go start your own "change the public policy" threads and stop trolling these.
