[an amused spectator]

Polls claim that a majority of Americans objected to action by the U.S. Congress in the Schiavo case as "government intrusion" into a "private family matter" – as if Judge Greer is not also the government. So twisted is our view of the judiciary that a judicial decree is treated like a naturally occurring phenomenon, like a rainbow or an act of God.

Truer words were never spoken.

One will notice that AP articles only mention that "a federal judge today ruled" without bothering to expand on the actual identity of the black-robed godlette in question...

On the bright side, after two weeks of TV coverage of the Terri Schiavo case, I think we have almost all liberals in America on record saying we can pull the plug on them.

ROFLMAO!

[Cboldt]

Supporting the idea that positions on the Schiavo case are correlated with IQ, on the pro-killing side is Rep. Chris Shays, R-Conn., who denounced the legislation granting federal courts jurisdiction over Terri's case, saying the Republican Party "has become a party of theocracy."

Bump -- Hahahahahaha.

Excellent article! I like this:

I think we have almost all liberals in America on record saying we can pull the plug on them.

I'm probably not the only Freeper who has heard their liberal friends say they want to "have the plug pulled." Leaving aside the fact that there was no "plug" in Terri's case, I have been very distressed by their rush to get dead. Many of them are about my age (top of the Baby Boom generation) and in another 5-10 years will retire and become useless eaters. I hope they know what they're letting themeselves in for.

Of course, they won't need to worry about Social Security any more. Maybe that's really what's behind the liberals' rush to death.

. . .Polls claim that a majority of Americans objected to action by the U.S. Congress in the Schiavo case as "government intrusion" into a "private family matter" – as if Judge Greer is not also the government. So twisted is our view of the judiciary that a judicial decree is treated like a naturally occurring phenomenon, like a rainbow or an act of God.

Our infallible, divine ruler is a county judge in Florida named George Greer, who has more authority in America than the U.S. Congress, the president and the governor. No wonder the Southern Baptist Church threw Greer out: Only one god per church!

I believe his exact words were, "PET scan? MRI? What do I look like, a guy who just won a $1 million malpractice settlement?

LOL! Also loved the comment about only one god :-)

Good job Anne!

[longtermmemmory]

You can't grow peanuts on your own land or install a toilet capable of disposing two tissues in one flush because of federal government intervention. But Congress demands a review of the process that goes into a governmental determination to kill an innocent American woman – and that goes too far!


Just Classic.

If being (a) on a liquid diet, and (b) unresponsive to one's estranged husband are now considered grounds for a woman's execution, wait until this news hits Beverly Hills!

Great article by Ann!

So twisted is our view of the judiciary that a judicial decree is treated like a naturally occurring phenomenon, like a rainbow or an act of God.

Here's the thought that's been on my mind regarding separation of powers:

If we play word games like the Left does, then when did the power of the courts morph from issuing OPINIONS to issuing RULINGS or ORDERS or DECREES?

If the Executive has the power of ACTING (executing), then the Judiciary issuing RULINGS is usurping the power to act reserved to the Executive.

There can be only one ruler in a Republic, and that is the elected executive. The Legislature makes law, the Executive enforces law, and the Judiciary offers OPINIONS on law, not decrees, orders, or rulings. The Executive should be free to accept or reject the OPINIONS of the Judiciary.

Disappointing nonsense from someone who usually knows better. Must be pushing book sales to the yahoos.

On the bright side, after two weeks of TV coverage of the Terri Schiavo case, I think we have almost all liberals in America on record saying we can pull the plug on them. Of course, if my only means of entertainment were Air America radio, Barbra Streisand albums and reruns of "The West Wing," I too would be asking: "What kind of quality of life is this?"

Under those circumstances, I'd eat a .45 like Hunter S. Thompson did. I do believe that not even God Himself would blame me.

Well, the Juice hasn't killed anybody...lately...

Summed up very nicely Anne .. good job

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP for Ann Coulter, who has more spine than the politicians who ran scared from a corrupt county probate judge and wrung their bony hands as they watched an innocent American citizen get murdered - - murdered slowly and barbarically for two excruciating weeks.
