I never heard so many scumbag liberals invoke "states rights" as I have over the past few days.
The hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a chainsaw.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
My thinking exactly. I nearly had to collect my jaw off the living room carpet when I read that the L.A. Slimes now stridently supports states' rights. Now I'd like to know where they stand on the many other issues that have been yanked unconstitutionally out of the hands of the states by the federal courts. Or could it be that their newfound support for states' rights is limited to life and death cases in which the state supports the latter?
I read elsewhere that the vote in the house was 208 - 53, which hardly sounds to me like the work of a right-wing lunatic fringe. Even many (but sadly, not enough) Dummycrats supported the bill, which is nothing more or less than a last-ditch effort to save the life of a vulnerable human being.
LOL Segregation was a "state right" as well was it not?
Now they seem to think that it is a "state right" to take a disabled American citizen, a woman who is guilty of no crime, refuse to let her family see her, starve her to death and deny her the right to live.
Why Judge Greer and his cohorts are not being tarred and feathered as we speak is beyond me.
Sometimes I think this country is asleep at the wheel.
On both sides, really. People who normally think the FedGov ought to stay out of as much as possible are cheering this.
Just for the record, I think starving someone to death is cruel & inhumane, and I think M. Shiavo should've divorced Terri before he started living & breeding with that other woman, and I think Terri's parents should have guardianship of her.
However, I'm not sure if this (or steriods in MLB) is anything Congress ought to be involved in.
