Yes, those TERRIBLE people who follow the law, as written.

Oh, the law, as written, allows an unfit person to serve as a guardian? The intent of the law, as written, is to use a half-remembered, decade old conversation as a substitute for a living will? The law as written now defines food and water as medical care?

Even if they were following "the law as written" (HA!) they were just doing the same thing that Northerners did when they followed the Fugitive Slave Law and sent escapees back down the river. They're only doing the same thing that an abortionist does when he follows the law as written and rips a small child limb from limb before throwin it in the trash. Keep on cheering for it and pretending you're a moral human being.

He was her legal husband, no matter what you think of his character. The law is crystal clear. It doesn't allow buttinskys to retroactively apply their moral outrage. And, yes, "food and water" currently are classified as medical care (as it were).

I can be against something and recognize the legality of it. You get to pick and choose which laws should be followed? Must be nice.
