Please tell me what laws the judges are protecting by removing this woman's feeding tube. The last time I checked hearsay evidence was not admissible against a serial murderer, and therefore could not condemn him to the death penalty. Please tell me why Terri has less rights than him?

Also, Congress is the one with the power to set up federal courts. Congress passed a law, yes, that's LAW, with the clear intent that a federal judge should retry the case. The judge totally disregarded that LAW.

This is not right wing emotionalism. Some people may or may not have Terri as the end all be all. The long term danger for the Republic is to have a precedent for judges to a) disregard acts of Congress (better known as the LAW), and b) have the power of life or death for people too helpless to protest.

"have the power of life or death for people too helpless to protest."

Increasingly, that appears to include all of us.

These three sentences sound like you obtained your understanding of the law by opening a dictionary and randomly pointing. "Serial murderer"? "Less rights than him"?

The law is whatever the Mullahs say it is - don't you know that yet? We have an "evolving" constitution, you see, with its many "penumbras" and "emanations", only some of which have been discovered - not to mention the latest in advanced legal scholarship form places like Zimbabwe. Better assume the position, and repeat after me: There is no god but the law, and its prophet is Greer.
