churchillbuff, who do you think you are kidding?
You've bashed the President for years about Iraq. It could have been assumed you had sincere disagreement over the invasion. But then you used Terri's dying as an opportunity to re-write history.
Stated the world hated Saddam. No one objected to a man they hated being removed from power. That it took no courage at all to remove him, unlike taking Terri by force would have demanded. In direct opposite to everything you had said prior.
You have an agenda against this President and see this as a convenient means to exercise it. I'm not falling for it, and most certainly aren't going to let you use Terri to exact that agenda.
Your agenda is clear....STFU already!
Todd... You're NOT using enough ALL CAPS in your POSTS!!!!!
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.
