""How about you cite the section of the Consitution that gives Congress authority over state courts instead of continuously dodging the question?

Of course you can't because no such section exists.""



Read the first 50 posts. I'm not going to repeat myself. There were arguements going back and forth the other day in Congress and not one of them was whether or not this is constitutional.

Not good enough. You didn't say anything worth repeating and you're still dodging the question. Your tagline says conservative before Republican. Prove it.

This may sound callous, but Terri Schiavo's one life is nothing in light of the hundreds of thousands who have died protecting the Constitution. For the idiots in Congress to run roughshod over the very principles for which those people gave up their lives diminishes that sacrifice and diminishes Terri's life as well as all of our lives.

This is exactly about whether or not what they did was Constitutional. Saying that Congress did not debate its Constitutional authority in this matter is like saying drug dealers didn't discuss the legality of their enterprise. That's what this entire thread is about. The actions of the Congress last Sunday cannot be justified. The Congress absolutely must operate within the boundaries of the Constitution or we are all lost.

And that's what being a conservative before being a Republican is all about.
