| I think the public will ask why the federal judges were involved in the first place. They were, and still are, opposed to federal involvement by the Congress or the Federal Judiciary at all.
That's what people think they know. And I'm not surprised they are against it. It will be six months or a year before a few more salient facts about this case percolate into people's heads. Most people today are surprised when told that the husband has been living with another woman for years... a Catholic woman who won't marry him if he's divorced; he needed for Terri to die. Then there's the money. A million dollars awarded to care for Terri, but spent on lawyering to get her killed. Then there's the doctors. For every one who says she's in a persistent vegetative state, there's another one who says she's not, or that more tests would be needed to make sure. Were the tests done before they decided to "let her die?" No. Very few people know these things. Just wait. Remember Bill Clinton? He was too popular to convict in the Senate. A year later, everybody said he was scum. This is gonna be like that. The media has had its fun spreading the leftist Gospel, and right now most people assume that was the truth, but in the end The People always figure it out. I have great faith they will do so again. |
You know and I know that these polls reflect nothing but people echoing back what they've heard on the news. Which is that a loving husband's attempt to give his comatose, brain-dead wife a Death With Dignity is being fouled up by a bunch of crazed Bible-thumpers.
