I refuse to put the "Bush Boys" in a lose lose scenario like the MSM and Left would LOVE us to. The first issue in the Schiavo case is pro-life. Bush and Bro came up on the side of life. The next issue was the role that the Judicial Branch has taken in our democracy, namely, to create policy and ignore the other branches of government. The second issue prevented the "Bush Boys" from riding to this poor woman's rescue. I agree that it is high time the power of the Judiciary be checked, in that the Judicial Branch once again be make a co-equal branch of government, but lets look at reality.

For over 70 years the Left has been successful in convincing America that the Judicial Branch is possesses god like powers and sits above the other branches. That perception must be changed. Just look at the reaction when Congress acted pursuant its enumerated Article III powers in this case. On this very site, this very bastion of Conservatism you had droves crying "foul!" with the crazy notion Congress had overstepped its bounds. Why?? Because it is ingrained that the Judiciary is all powerful or that somehow federalism prevents Congress from telling the Federal Courts what cases it has jurisdiction over. If the "Bush Boys" had acted in contravention of a court order, you can bet that Jeb would be impeached and his brother would become a lame duck in ten seconds flat and congress would be back in Fat Teddy and Plastic Pelosi's hands. Imagine how many more Terri cases there would be then. Like it or not, that is the political reality. . . . for now.

But, congress fired the opening shot in the war on the judiciary, which could very well be the second revolution in this country. Now, we must work hard to change the perception that the Judicial Branch is all powerful and sits above all others. Once that is changed or questioned, and it WILL BE, then there will be no more cases like Terri's.

Your observations on the judiciary are spot-on!

Well said!

Exactly right.

It is for that reason that we must avoid turning on our own right now and stick together. We are almost in the position where we can begin making dramatic judicial reforms to stop injustices like this Schiavo debacle from happening in the first place.

If we back off now, we might not get a second chance.
