More like a liberal lawyer, that is now a state judge!

Our courts, state and federal, have slowly dug themselves into a deep pit.  Terri's case is out in the MSM.   But, just imagine of the tens of thousands cases we don't hear about, or how adjudicated?   The framers of the Constitution had no idea the judicial branch would overpower both other branches of government.   Unfortunately, it all started in 1803, in Marberry v. Madison, whereas, the U.S. Supreme Court pulled off a power grab, and have never looked back.   Our wimpy Congress allowed it then, and still have done nothing to reel in a power hungry court system.

A yes. MvM, where the Supreme Court said, in essence, "Well, we would find for party X, except that because in this particular case the proposed remedy would be moot, we find for party Y." Given that the proposed remedy was, in fact, moot by the time the case was decided, party X couldn't really object. And since party Y won, Y couldn't really squawk either. Hence the court managed to issue a precedent-setting opinion which nobody could squawk about.
