In doing so, he would become a hypocrite.

Absolute and complete nonsense. The executive branch was designed to act as a check upon the judiciary, as was the legislative branch. To see conservatives cravenly bowing before these judges as though the final, supreme voice of the people resides in these unelected, self-appointed legislators is startling.

The Elian comparison doesn't hold up to even the slighest amount of scrutiny. In that case, there was no imminent danger of death and there was absolute proof of the mother's intentions for her child. In this case, we have no idea what Terri wanted for herself; we have a faithless husband, and we have two parents whose only desire is to FEED THEIR DAUGHTER. To fail to use executive power in such an instance is to demonstrate ABJECT MORAL COWARDICE.

ABJECT MORAL COWARDICE..............

Absolutely. President Bush and Congress pass a law, then don't enforce it? Are they afraid of legal action? So what!!

When Bill Clinton lied to a federal grand jury, what reprecussions did he endure? He thumbed his nose at the entire country and is still worshipped by millions (ugh!).

This is saying more about the Bushes and Republicans than they seem to be aware of. As I see it, they are teetering on the edge of a great moral victory, or a dark slide into the pits of political irrelevance. And the future of the country hangs in the balance. What will follow, if they don't act, won't be pretty.
