Branding anyone who was on the side of the Schindlers as religious extremists (or "Christian Conservatives") just doesn't cut it. Not when the list includes Mark Steyn, Charles Krauthammer, and the editorial board of the Jerusalem Post.
We elect Judges to rule on Fl. law...
Nevertheless few of us had a problem with kicking Bush v. Gore up to the Supreme Court. In addition, as in the matter of death penalty cases for instance, legislators are given power over courts, as in the reprieve power given to Governors.
And after the backlash to the GOP for overstepping their authority in this case, the RR extremists won't get any more crumbs from the political table for some time. Any capital they had, they blew on this case while making some Christians look like Jerry Springer busybodies and ignoramus's.
I notice that the President and his team of advisors are standing very firm behind Tom DeLay. Some solid "crumbs" there... :)
I'm more concerned about the liberal extremists in the GOP. THEY KILLED TERRI IN COLD BLOOD. Judge Greer is a REPUBLICAN, a LIBERAL EXTREMIST GOP.
