Unfortunately, they have not yet run their course.
Hperbole and Slander rule the day, it seems... sigh.
Kill the bulemics! Is that your motto?
The family gets help for a person in that situation asap.
Not pointing the finger at each other and let the problem
continue.
There are people on this forum hell bent on bringing down the Bush brothers. Just like on DU.
Yup. Nothing he says or does will be right, and every little detail, down to the most inconsequental thing (such as a single word) will be used to attack him.
Just watch - THe Democrats will find some excuse for impeachment, and a good number of "conservatives" will join them.
Extending condolences to killer Michael Schiavo is not "an inconsequential thing"
You crack me up sinkspur.
Sometimes it is very difficult to redeem, i.e. "Counter-Balance" true evil. It may just be more divinely correct to kill true evil when it grows to a point of being completely unredeemable.
I feel as though the entire Schiavo case has been a test that America failed miserably.
The one lesson we must take away from this terrible loss is that our judiciary is out of control and in serious need of reform. We should support Senator Santorum’s efforts to hold the judges in the Schiavo case accountable but I think we all know that for politial reason nothing is likely to come of it. We need to amend the constitution to reduce the power of the unelected.
We should consider doing all or some of the following:
1. Reduce the term of federal judges from lifetime tenure to some specific term, say 9, 11 or 13 years, to decouple judicial appointments from the election cycle. Any judge so appointed would not be eligible for appointment to the same bench.
2. Provide mechanisms whereby judges can be removed for indifference to the rule of law. Currently, unless a judge does something that a wide majority of the Congress and the Senate see as criminal there is no way to get rid of a bad judge.
3. We need to empower the electorate to remove bad judges. Our elected representatives are cowards. One of the reasons for the rise of the out of control judiciary is that our elected officials lack the courage to deal with critical issues of our day, leaving a power vacuum that the judiciary has moved in to fill. If the judiciary is going to make laws, the electorate should have the power to remove them.
Exactly!
He's been doing this ever since I can remember. Trashed the president, the administration and the military. Constantly.
