"Clinton had a Federal Court ruling on his side."

Easy to get too when "all your Federal Court judges are belong to them!"

Well, CNN just had a blurb that lawyers for the House have asked the USSC to order that the feeding tube be re-inserted.

I thought the Supremes already ruled on this? They're going to swat this request away like a fly.

Good line!

And any other "principled federalists".

Here is what the Florida Court of Appeals has held:

"In this case, however, Michael Schiavo has not been allowed to make a decision to disconnect life-support. The Schindlers have not been allowed to make a decision to maintain life-support. Each party in this case, absent their disagreement, might have been a suitable surrogate decision-maker for Theresa. Because Michael Schiavo and the Schindlers could not agree on the proper decision and the inheritance issue created the appearance of conflict, Michael Schiavo, as the guardian of Theresa, invoked the trial court's jurisdiction to allow the trial court to serve as the surrogate decision-maker."

The state of Florida has assumed the power to decide which innocent people live and die in Florida. Where they derive this power from is a mystery. It's not from Florida's constitution but if it were it would be unconstitutional. It certainly isn't derived from the US Constitution.

Cruel and unusual punishement? Only obtains for serial killers.

Executive clemency? Again only for criminals and murderers.

Equal protection for Terri Schiavo? A freaking joke.
