LOL yeah I thought about that when I wrote my response but right now I'm wishing I had never opened this thread. I'm gonna go back and hide under my rock now.
don't hide, your post is correct - semantics aside. the reaction by Congress was "out of scope", but it was precipitated by an unyielding approach to the case by the entire judiciary, from the lowest court in florida all the way to the top. that was the big problem I had with the case - the conduct of the judiciary.
I'm glad you opened this thread. The Schiavo case proved that a probate judge has the power of life and death, and is in fact more powerful than the president and the congress. We need to elect a president and legislators who will stand against judicial tyranny.
