"That analogy only works if the Mississippi state court ruled that lynching aren't murder as long as a majority of Klansmen agree they're being merciful to their victim."
Going going gone, out of the ball park. I can't think of anything FDR did in his 4 terms of office and during a World War that is a disgraceful as this. Even leaving the troops on Bataan to die was not as bad as sitting around and watching a cool blooded horrific murder. Morality bankrupt is an understatement.

You f'ing a$$h@le!!! Bataan was a lot worse! On Bataan many men were starved to death or denyed water till they died. Or do yuo think that because they were soldiers that doesn't count?
This here was one person! What happened to Terri was very sad and it should not have happened. Do we need to resrain the judicial branch? Yes we do.
I have noticed that THE SAME people who are saying that Bush shoud have used federal agents to go in and take Terri are THE SAME people who complained when clinton used federal agents to get Elien Gonzoles. You people can't have it both ways why would it be ok in one instance and not another? Granted Bush would've been morally justified in doing so, but it wouldv'e still been wrong.
Also the President doesn't have superme powers. A bill was signed giving federal courts jurisdiction and they decided. I'm saddedned that they decided to kill Terri. But if after the decision Bush went in and just took her to other place and saved her and basically just totally ignored the courts, it would open up a can of worms for any future president to ignore the courts on any issue they chose. There is a separation of powers and NO brach has supreeme powers t odo whatever they want.
