I don't like what happened to a relative of mine in state court. They won't tell me if they agree, but on their behalf, I will ask congress to federalize my case individually on a special basis usurping state rights. That is the precedent being set here.
Exactly. Judge Andrew Napolitano of FOX News said that although members of Congress do get what's known as "private" legislation inserted into bills from time to time to address a particular constituent need, what Congress did on the Schiavo case has never been done before in American history.
No matter what our individual opinions on the Schiavo case may be, we need to set emotions aside and look at the larger impact of the precedent Congress just set.
