[Just mythoughts]

Sadly Terri's 'case' for the 'left' was self-centered look at what was perceived about 'quality' of life. The all about 'me' and 'my' rights mentality could not see what precedent was being set, that a county judge could and did gavel an execution and nobody that could was going to interfere.

Words and phrases that come to my mind are "blow-back" and "grandstanding", concern about health care costs, and the interfering President, Governor and those in Congress with a Constitutional duty to oversee the judging class, embarrassed the oh so moderate class. No hay seed hick, Bible thumpers allowed in moderate-ville.

They didn't like the mirror.

So many of these people will "grow" as they experience more living and dying.
