Because the 14th Amendment was stretched for that power in and of itself. Now you're going to argue why not stretch it a little more? That's conservative....
This was a civil case, not a criminal one. The 10th Amendment is clear. I realize Republicans inherently hate that Amendment considering their auspicious party origin but are we now to take intrastate medical civil cases all the way to the Supreme Court because we disagree with the outcome?
Yes, I think it's fully appropriate if the state is imposing DEATH. As it did in the case of Terri Schindler.
