Man oh man- this is one complex case. I change my mind hour by hour as I read and learn more about the law(s). I am as worried for the Consitutuion as I am for Teri. The ONE thing I'm certain of- her husband is shameless.
At least you're keeping an open mind. For you and others with open minds, let me once again say that I'm in favor of reinserting the feeding tube. The point of this thread is not to argue the merits of the Schiavo case, per se, but to examine the Constitutional questions.
Long after this case is over, we all will have to live with the consequences of congressional and court decisions. That being the case, we should at least make an attempt to understand the Constitutional basis for those decisions.

Yes, this is a complex case. Changing your mind, hour by hour, as you read and learn more suggests that you are an open-minded person, who wants to base an opinion on facts, rather than emotions. We need more of that sort of commonsense approach around here. :)
Agree, my first thoughts were the fedgov does not need to be involved in this. Having read this thread...well, it's very muddy.
