Am I the only one who sees a difference between an individual filing a writ of habeas corpus with the Federal courts and Congress intruding jursidiction of the Fedral courts on the states? Well, apparently at least Charles Krauthammer sees the difference as well.

I'll say this a different way: If you use the activist, liberal interpretation of the fourteenth amendment and combine it with Article III, you end up with a potent precedent that will come back to haunt us. In fact, at this point, given this action, we might as well disband the state courts now. What useful purpose do they serve? After that, how big a step is it to decide that the state legislatures are redundant and inefficient? Let's get rid of them as well.

It's no use arguing with him.

NCSteve- This is the last time I will say this to you, Congress has jurisdiction over the state courts. It is in the constitution. Reread the thread.

Also, are we forgetting that this is a woman's life. No judge has a right to end her life. We are all entitled to life. Starvation is a painful and cruel death.

You aren't reading the constitution to begin with. It outlaws cruel and unusual punishment. Terri is being punished.

No judge or man or government has a case to take our god given right to life away.
