``I don't know of any precedent that would permit a judge to do this,'' Anna Schissel, staff attorney for the Reproductive Rights Project of the New York Civil Liberties Union, told the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester. ``And even if there were a precedent, it would be blatantly unconstitutional because it violates the United States Constitution and the New York Constitution.''

Perhaps Ms. Schissel can tell us just where in the U.S. Constitution and/or the New York Constitution it says that people are entitled to reproduce beyond their means and expect the rest of us to pay for them shooting out kids like a defective salad shooter?

Neither parent attended the proceeding or secured legal representation. The mother waived her right to a lawyer, and the father never showed up in court.

I'm sure public floggings or beatings cannot cost as much as court hearings not attended by the principals - even without charging admission to help recoup the costs.

Appoint Judge Marilyn O'Conner to the US Supreme Court, at the next opportunity. She's probably too rational to be confirmed though.

There are lots of loving couples that do not have children. Why did the judge not put the kids up for adoption?

[grassroot]

I'm torn between two opinions here. While I agree this couple has no right to place the burden for raising their children on responsible taxpayers, I'm also disturbed by thought of a judge being able dictate birth control from the bench.

To put a little feminist spin on it, "What about this woman's right to privacy? It's her body!!" </feminist rant>

Of course the death-loving abortionists probably don't give a #%& about a woman's right to privacy when she exercises her right(?) to deliver her children instead of aborting them.

Like I said, I'm just not sure what I think of this ruling.

Yes...right...might as well have the Pope tell Kerry he can't take Communion!
