The tube was removed. The tube was not put back in, despite the efforts of President, Congress, and Governor. In other words, all of the supposed intervention of the United States Government amounted to . . . nothing. Nothing changed. They did not save her life. The only thing that happened was that the White House and Congress and the Governor showed their utter and complete weakness.

I feel this argument has become circular.

No, the tube was not put back in. This does not equate to "nothing" having been done. This does not satisfy your assertion there was no intervention. There was.

It didn't result in the result we wished but action DID occur and intervention WAS performed.

As to weakness? Sorry. The lessons I have learned differ. I've learned Congress CAN assert its constitutional authority. I've learned they can defy public polling. I've learned whereby two branches of Government can operate and respect their constitutional authority, the Judicial branch has decided to exceed its own. I've learned the American people by majority are comfortable with the Judicial Branch as the final authority. I've learned even many conservatives have no understanding of the constitution. I've learned the value of Life has been seriously eroded in our culture.

The question is what is done with those lessons. I respond by educating the public about the constitution. I respond by trying to instill a respect for Life. I respond by demanding a correction in Judicial overreach, and a correction of the law to prevent this ever occuring again. I do not count among my lessons abusing needed allies for this upcoming change. I certainly will not punish them because they are not Christ himself. I do not hold the Reps on a pedestal, nor do I hold them in contempt. They are human men and women with a heart for Life constrained by the limits of this earth.
