Quote: "I agree with you completely on this point. And I'm not outraged. I'm interested in the Constitutional implications of what Congress did in this case. I'm interested in stimulating a reasoned discussion of those implications. Long after the Schiavo case is settled, the Constitutional questions raised by this case will still affect all our lives."

Ok, here is an implication. Congress shocked millions of Americans awake to discover that Congress does indeed have Constitutional power over the judiciary. Congress can pass a bill that extends the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts to just one case, if Congress so desires. This is such as shock because the Left has sold America on the myth that the Courts sit ABOVE the Executive and Congress. The Left loves this notion because it means appointed liberal dictators for life can enact an agenda that most of us would never ever vote for in a gazilliion years.
