Uh no, but I'm just sick and tired of this Schiavo thing, we're fighting a war right now, we are in need of an energy policy, and we have various foreign relations problems popping up across the world.
An internal family dispute does not belong in the federal courts, and it does not belong on the National News. Especially when most of those politicians didn't even really give a damn about the family. They were just jumping on a bandwagon so they could get some political points. I think Jebs motives were pure, I can't say the same about Congress.
And one thing no one here ever considers. If the federal courts had ruled that Terri had to be kept on life support, then a few years later, some liberal lawyer defending a condemned convict would have come along and attempted to create a precedent argument based on the Schiavo case.
Apples and Oranges, but when you're dealing with courts, as we all know, anything is possible.
What life support was she on other than nutrition? I'm having smoked tuna for "life support" as I type.
One of the reasons we are so very upset about this case is that it does set precedents for each and every one of us in this country.
It means the state can kill citizens based on "criteria".
It means that every man or woman finding themselves in a coma or "other criteria" can be killed based on a mate remembering "they once mentioned they did not want to live if in any coma".
It means that the euthanasia movement is progressing through our laws and finding ways to "remove some".
It means that man now decides death - not a God determined end to life.
All kinds of precedents. Which is why Terri woke many of us up to what is going on.
