How am I making a fool of myself, walsh?

You remind me of Thomas More's future son-in-law in "A Man for all Seasons," who said he would strike down every law, if it meant getting the devil himself.

You remember what Paul Scofield, as Thomas More, said?

"And, when the devil turned round on you, all the laws being flat, where would you seek refuge then?"

According to the Florida Superior Courts who decides if Terri Schiavo lives or dies?

And where do they derive that power?

If you don't know off the top of your head then you are a fool Deacon.

Good drama.

But drama nonetheless.

Worth remembering. The proposed solution would create the notion that federal judges could jump into a case at any time they wished, no jursdiction or plaintiff necessary.

Those who fear activist judges should REALLY fear that law.
