I see you were throwing spitballs at me after I left last night.

That's the dumbest thing you've said yet. How am I to know when you log off? Did you not post that to me while I was offline?

Let's see.........what did George do, besides signing a (highly controversial) bill to save Terri's life, coming back from Texas so he could sign it in the middle of the night......making strong pro-Terri statements.........??

Wow! Risky! I notice you didn't answer your own question "what did he do besides?"

If Presidents have the power to overturn Supreme Court decisions, then why didn't Nixon, or Reagan overturn Roe v. Wade?

I have not suggested that the court decision be overturned. The state can, and has the duty to, take custody because of the abusive situation this whole farce of a case has become to Terri.

Why aren't you villifying Reagan for not intervening with the runaway courts with an EO and saving the lives of not just one human life, but the millions of babies who have been slaughtered since he was elected in 1980??

Do you see anyone posting about what happened in 1980? Why aren't you villifying Reagan for unilaterally ending the air traffic controller's strike?

Cut out the Bush bashing, ...

Cut out the demagoguing. The President serves at the pleasure of the people. I'm not pleased. Your understanding is that the President can do nothing here. My understanding is that he can. The Constitution demands it. His Oath of Office binds him to it. The XIVth Amendment spells out the law of the land he must see faithfully executed and is the highest law superceding statute laws and court decisions which aren't laws at all. For whatever reason you have thrown in the towel. Be at peace with that. I'm not.

Not knowing when I was logging off doesn't change the fact that you were lobbing spitballs in my direction. (The point......which you clearly missed..... was that your posts were trite, and intended to aggravate [i.e. spitballs], not whether or not I was online).

This will be my final post, because I have made my point here, and don't wish to continue to butt heads for no possible gain.

The President did what he was Constitutionally permitted to do. The President is not in charge of the State of Florida.

I suggest you re-read what I said about Reagan. I am not villifying Reagan. He did not have the Constitutional power to overturn Roe v. Wade, did he? Millions of babies were slaughtered during his administration........why didn't he do something 'besides' to stop it? (Since you are villifying Bush for this, to be consistent, you should villify Reagan for what he didn't do........I am not doing either).

And I haven't even come close to 'throwing in the towel' but I expect my leaders to obey the law.

We both desperately want Terri to live, and are angry that this has happened. I just believe that by making the President the scapegoat for your anger, you are in danger of never solving the real problem........and that is that this country has embraced a culture of death, and the renegade judiciary is aiding and abetting it.

Keep praying for Terri, her family, for the President and his brother, and for the soul of this nation.
