President Bush will make remarks on the death of Terri Schindler (Schiavo) at 11:40 am EST.
Some would call it consitutional over-reach. Like the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. I haven't heard anyone refer to it as the Police Action in Iraq.
Point being, if you attack one over-reach, if you're sincere, you need to attack them all. Otherwise, don't use the soldiers as fodder for your argument.
"medial pot ???"

You are dead-on. The link is for folks who might like a well-reasoned constitutional argument. I presume you're familiar with it.
Good post, but Judge Greer is not a federal judge so it would have to be the Florida Legislature that impeached him for whatever reason.
We are at about the point of the Boston Massacre, when most of the Patriots counseled restraint. We have to figure out how NOT to get to the point of Lexington and Concord. But the only way that can happen, as you state, is for change to occur in "our" government.
As far as casting the first stone, I for one am not casting stones, but rather critiquing the actions of my employees. They didn't do the job they were hired to do, and at minimum they have bet told that they did not meet expectations.
What should they have done that they didn't do that was legal?
They REFUSED to take the DIRECT action to RESCUE her. Very much AGREED.
Undoubtedly, but he is too high to spell it correctly.
OK - so what would a President Kerry have done?
This is not an execution in the legal sense.
And how would a President Kerry have been any better on those issues? Would he have been better on border security? Did he oppose CFR or support it even more than Bush? Would he have more tax cuts or tax increases? Would his judges have been better selected? Would he further enable the U.N. or not?
Face the facts. Bush may be flawed, (he is not Jesus Christ after all), but he's by a long shot far better than any other choice we were given in the previous election? Who would you have supported instead? And who will you support in 2008?
Please don't take my casting of stones comment personally, it was meant for the commuity at large.
Thanks bro,
Mike
Neither. I think the initial emotions will calm down rather quickly. With a little knowledge about the case, MS and Greer are the obvious bad actors. Some people are disappointed with Jeb and W, but I don't think it will have any real lasting effects for most. One can be disappointed without going off the deep end.
I seriously doubt the Demorats can make much of Jeb's involvement one way or the other. After all, where were they on the whole matter?
The point has been made and I well agree, NOTHING!!!!
Murder, by definition, is a crime.
The problem is determining what constitutes murder. Some believe ANY killing is murder, even in self-defense. Some believe ANY war is immoral (Quakers). Some believe abortion is murder under any circumstances, some believe infanticide is OK, and some are in the middle. Some believe Terri Schindler's feeding tube removal is wrong under any circumstances, some only if SHE had expressed this via a living will, some only if ALL relatives agree, some say next-of-kin's dubious word is OK.
It's a serious subject that deserves serious debate. Emotions and tempers are running too high to have that right now.
The point has been made and I well agree, NOTHING!!!!
Want to take that one back?
Except the judiciary. Where is the consequence for their violation of written law? Where was the rebuke from the other two branches? It's not against any law to find a microphone and proclaim your position and point out the lawlessness.
What law, specifically, prevents him from standing-down law enforcement who have been overtaken by courts? What law, specifically, prevents him from acting in tandem with the U.S. Congress, from telling the courts their juridiction? What law, specifically, reigns above the Constitution?
To take the life of an innocent person violates the constitutions of Florida and the United States. The supreme law of the land is that all persons have the right to life. Period.
There is no basis on which a judge should be obeyed when he orders disobedience to the Constitution. He is not superior to the supreme law of the land. He is not our king.
