Oh, please there was nothing landmark at all here. Whipping up outrage on flimsy pretext does nothing to the legal system. While the Schindlers were able to throw a monkey wrench in the legal system and their followers able to get some politicians to jump in like ignoramouses NOTHING significant was changed. People just like Terri still are allowed to meet their maker when there is nothing left to preserve just as they were before.
The only landmark is the ability to damage the GOP which this case did and make FR look like a lunatic asylum (also very damaging).
While I don't doubt you would try and put this story in the Bible I do doubt you will succeed. Your comparing it to Cain and Abel is just another example of how it causes you to lose rationality and perspective. It is nothing unusual (outside the Schindlers craziness).
Oh, please, don't tell me you support the Fugitive Slave Law? Professor Gary Amos, a law school teacher, argues that the Schiavo case undid whatever was left of the 14th Amendment and took us back to Dred Scott. His point is essentially that there is no possible due process in American law that authorizes the judicial execution of an innocent citizen. He added a comment that every concurring judge, including all nine members of SCOTUS, should be impeached for making themselves parties to a murder. We've posted links to it a number of times. You should read it.
Here is one link.
