The likely outcome of De Lay's grandstanding, if he persists in this attempt, is a confrontation that reaffirms the independecne of the state and federal judiciary from this sort of interference; I'd bet dimes to dollars that there is not a single SC Justice would will continence this.
You're probably right. So, where does that leave us? The courts have done their thing, the "delicate balance" of state vs. federal jurisdiction has been maintained, and an innocent woman has been starved to death. What the hell is wrong with this picture!?
so what. this is the same body that found a new civil right protecting Lee Malvo from facing the death penalty just a few weeks ago.
