Polls have shown that a sizable number say "the government should stay out of such family situations". They never complained about a judge being in it, just Congress and the President and Jeb, as if judges aren't "the government". Their ignorance is showing. Not speaking of you, as I know you know judges are also the government. Moving toward the center? Would that be more toward Democrats, or McCain, or Lincoln Chafee, or Hillary or just whom? I wonder about it. Any event, that political prospect won't change the views of those speaking from principle and from the heart on this matter.
#1. The ONLY reason a judge was brought into this was to legislate between two families. Things like this happen every single day of every week, all year long without judicial interference. But when families disagree, they have to act on the suit.
#2. Congress has no right to involve itself in this matter. None. If they want to pass laws that make such actions illegal, they need to work within a set of guidelines. Imagine if they said that no feeding tube could ever be removed. There go living wills.
#3. Moving toward the center...I can tell you what it means for me and for a lot of my neighbors. Absolutely no sympathy for the radical element within the conservative movement. None. And no support.
MUCH less $$ to the GOP and RNC. Try none.
Fewer letters to the editor supporting OUR position. Most of us are so discouraged and downright disgusted we just don't care. That's won't last forever, but for now, we're out of it and won't help in any way.
That's how ticked off people are. If our right to self determination is going to be fiddled with, I don't want any part of the party. None. THis is NOT what conservatism has stood for in the past.
