Oh please, they did all they could. At least because of the attempt, you can bet now that we will now see laws ensuring this does not happen again. Maybe it's too late for Terri, but at least, in the end some good came of it. We don't live in a dictatorship where you can just say "make it so." The law is not perfect, but it's the best we've got, and now it's time for bad law to change. Thanks to Terri's fight, bad law will now change, but it will be changed properly and in a constitutionally sound matter.

Now we know why Congressmen and Senators don't get elected president. They are a bunch of cowardly weasels looking for the ultimate photo-op!

I'm with you on the feeling, but what if it doesn't change?

What if this becomes referred to as Schiavo v. Schindler and gets used to the same effect as Roe v. Wade?

I agree we don't live in a dicatatorship (thank God!) but where do WE draw the line for the subversive undermindings of the judicial system?

And what about civil disobediance on our part? Why aren't the civilians down there (and elsewhere for that matter) trying to stop this en force?

People talk about the "checks and balances" of our system. Where's the balance?

There is no "bad Law" involved here just people unhappy with the result of the legal system doing its job properly.
Very reminscent of the thinking of Liberals.
