"Her husband is designated as her next of kin. As such, he has the legal right to make medical decisions for her."
And if her husband hasn't bben acting like a true husband, that makes no difference? That is not a factor for a judge to take into account when ruling on this case? Pahleese!!!
You people crack me up. You're all POed at this judge for not deviating from the letter of the law.
Isn't that what conservatives generally claim we want from judges? Or do we only want them to follow the law when the result is one we desire?
IMHO, the problem here is not the judge. The problem is the law. As such, the appropriate response is to change the law, not criticize the judge.
