Another BUMP for Scalia's well-reasoned opinion. Personally, I believe that what Michael Schiavo is doing to his wife is wrong. But allowing the federal government to step in and set a very dangerous precedent could spell disaster for the entire country.
As do I. Don't necessarily like anybody in this case after reading some more on it and feel for the poor woman most of all. But Scalia is exactly right. This is not the business of the national government
Under normal circumstances I would agree. But we are living in extra-ordinary times where the actions of liberal courts have already spelled disaster for the country. They have run rampant and unchecked for decades.
What other way is there for the nation to recover from the onslaught of the enemy within? What other way is there for the courts to be required to cease usurping congress? How often has Congress and the legislatures or the Executive branches intervened against the courts in the last 200 years? Once? Twice? Not a good track record for those we hire to protect our guarantees, is it?
The Executive Branch holds the key. It can refuse to enforce what it knows to be unrighteous rulings (not right in anyone's definition of common sense, logic and justice) or it can bow down to the royal black-robed liberal justices whose main agenda is to destroy the concept of self-rule, the rule of law, and the separation of powers.
So whether Congress is right or wrong is this instance, it least appears it is searching for its conscience -- something most of us believe it never had, and hopefully, something the judiciary will take note of as well.
In Terri's case, even at this late date I'm not all that certain that she has not been denied due process. Let's find out before we execute another innocent. I'll forgive the fedguv for acting and even erring on the side of caution.
