Dear Torie,

Forgive me if I seem a bit cynical, but I think that the Republicans passed the law, and the president signed it, pretty much suspecting that in the end, it would be ignored by the judiciary. The law, as best as I can figure, is an affront to these black-robed demons, and thus doesn't stand much of a chance of having effect.

But the Republicans and the president can claim to have done all they can once Terri has been successfully murdered. This is a sop thrown to us social conservatives.

Maybe, but I don't think Congress anticipated that the judge would deny an injunction and moot the case from the getgo, which he must hear. I think that is a good appeal to the 11th circuit. If the judge doesn't rule tomorrow, watch for Terri's lawyer to appeal to the 11th circuit regarding it engaging in delay that bears grave risk of mooting the case.

Actually half of the Dems voted for this also.

If Terri dies because of the foot dragging, Bush will win in the long run by clearly justifying the nuclear option that is sure to come out of this. Bush will get his judges. These liberal judicial tyrants have gone too far.

I'm inclined to agree...the mid-term elections in 2006 could prove to be very interesting if Terri is murdered.

Do you really think the President, the Governor and the Congress would go to all of this trouble as a "sop"?

Get real. We have real men in our government and they are working in the system. They cannot determine the outcome but can only get it to another federal court.

Is nothing good enough for you where the president and governor is concerned? Do you want him impeached for abuse of power?

Correct.
