Judge Birch has it wrong. There's a definitive difference between discretion and following the letter of the law.

The Florida, Federal District Court Judge (Whittemore) didn't follow the new congressional guidelines to review the Shiavo case. He used the older review method, hence, Terri dies. Two of the three 11th circuit court of appeals judges upheld Whittemore. WHY...? "Judicial independence." Meaning, I'm not going to follow laws, or the Constitution, I'm going to do and rule as I please. So take that!!!
