"Is this the far right? God help us." The "religious" leftist kooks and the "religious" right kooks, are flip sides of the same extremist coin. As long as the Constitution stands in their way, thank God, they will never be able to grab the reins of absolute power in the United States.

The Constitution is a joke, at least in 2005. The judiciary has essentially said that the document is what they say it is. For over 50 years, the courts have entirely abandoned original intent for positive law, which means the judges' interpretation of what is good for society.
I must wonder when diplomats from Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany, et. al., will start presenting their credentials to the Supreme Court rather than the White House, for that is where the real power resides in this country.
While the Terri Schiavo case was a state matter, I find it hard to believe that the executive and legislative branches on the Federal level would not cave as thoroughly as did the governor and legislature of Florida to Judge Greer and his cohorts in the judiciary.
You may rest assured that evangelical Christians will not come to power in this country - it isn't going to happen. There will be no "theocracy." But don't bet on the leftists not taking over sooner or later. America has moved steadily since the late 1800s away from limited government, traditional morality and individual responsibility toward an all powerful centralized regime, moral relativism, and collectivism. What the Schiavo case means is that the conservative, Republican, and pro-life opposition to liberalism and secular humanism is ineffective when their opponents hold the cards.
You may well get your leftist kooks, though they will be cleaned up outwardly and considered moderate centrists.

SHOULD READ: As long as WE LET KOOKS from either extreme keep rewriting the Constitution that used to stand in their way, they will CONTINUE grabbing for absolute power in the United States. And we must bear in mind that it has been the Leftist kooks that has been doing most of the furtive--and overt--rewriting, particularly from court benches.

The President & the Governor are not to blame! They did all they could within the confines of our Constitution.
What this tragic case demonstrates is that we must do all we can to get more conservative judges in our courts!
