Some FReepers are coming out of the woodwork cheering this decision. "Sorry that's she's dying and all, but praise be the Constitution is saved! States rights are alive and well!'

Guess what, you fools. You haven't won anything. The Constitution and the courts are in as bad shape as ever. They've just used your own respect for law against you. They'll be back tomorrow pushing the Bill of Rights through the shredder as always. They got what they want by pretending to give you what you want.

"The devil can quote scripture for his own purpose" but that doesn't mean he's converted. To think that activist judges and liberal politicians have changed their spots overnight and become strict Constitutionalists is fantasy. I'm sorry to see so many FReepers indulge in it.

Agreed that the Constitution and courts are in as bad shape as ever, and now we have a Republican congress that's even worse. This whole affair has not been a victory, except that Mrs. Schiavo might finally get some peace.

It's like the old logic, "we have cured the disease but the patient died." Sort of the metaphor on what is going on there.

I'm a believer in the saying that the Constitution is not a suicide pact or a pact to kill someone.

"The devil can quote scripture for his own purpose" but that doesn't mean he's converted. To think that activist judges and liberal politicians have changed their spots overnight and become strict Constitutionalists is fantasy. I'm sorry to see so many FReepers indulge in it.

The Consitution is being used as toilet paper by the judiciary while they claim to be following it. Once they get to a certain point, they will ditch the Constitution much like a bank robber ditches an old car used in a getaway. Sadly, some people don't see that.

I hate to sound like Anakin Skywalker (the future Darth Vader) here but "the Republic is broke" and if this continues, we will pay for it one way or another.
