But but but it's ok to break the law this time according to those who want to send in the 101st Airborne to get Terri.

Janet Reno... the new hero of the pro-life movement.

too late for that

Breaking the law wasn't a problem with Judge Birch. He was more concerned with Congress taking action to legislate a change to the appelate jurisdiction of a federal court. Along the way he seems to have forgotten that the Founding Fathers actually did give Congress that power!

What you have here is less than you imagine. Many jurists, in an attempt to be able to maintain impartiality, and to focus on the "facts" as they might be presented in court, give up reading newspapers, magazines, or watching TV news. This Birch guy and his gumbahs elsewhere probably have no idea what is going on in the public arena where ideas are debated and names called.

Judge Greer is pretty much cut of the same cloth and the fact that the Sheriff thought he needed some personal protection might well have surprised him.

It would be interesting to interview Birch, Greer and these other characters to see just what they know about what the rest of us think of them.

There is no law.

Why not?

Since we're tossing conservatives overboard for the likes of Jesse Jackson and Lanny Davis, anything goes.

Don't any of you State Rights conservatives understand about the Constitutional RIGHT to live? Jack Kennedy sent in the National guard to protect the right of a black man to go to a State college in Mississipi....a "right" far less important and NO WHERE mentioned in the Constitution as explicitly as the Right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness...The Judicial system of this country needs to start enforcing the Preamble....if they don't send in the freakin' marrines....I also didn't see any of you "Constitutional " conservatives critisizing George Bush for an Unconstitutional war either.....

Was it OK for Eisenhower to send in the National Guard when Arkansas refused to let black children into public schools?

Was it OK for Kennedy to send national troops when (Alabama?) was simply following a judge's decision to not allow blacks into university??

For those who agree with this execution of Terri Shaivo because "they correctly followed procedure", I submit that those same people have forever forfeited their right to question or change any decision by the judiciary, whether state, local or federal.

After all, as long as the judge "followed the law" then it's impossible for them to have made an illegal decision -- RIGHT??.
