... it will be interesting to see what kind of contortions the Court goes through to maintain the ban on assisted suicide given their recent ruling on "liberty", if indeed they even try to....

In essence they have nullified the Declaration of Independence, and while tpaine thinks it's a big boost for liberty, in reality the tyrants are salivating in the wings over a people tired of their rights.

It is sad to see libertarians gamed so easily and completely by the hard left.

I mean, really, people who claim to be motivated primarily by the idea of as free a society as possible applauding the recent decision that mandated their rights are neither more nor less then what Anthony Kennedy or Sandy O'Conner decide they are when they wake up in the morning.

To rework a famous quote, a Supreme Court empowered to create new 'rights' you want out of thin air is equally empowered to remove the rights you currently enjoy.

Bizarre line.
How, in essence. has the Declaration of Independence been nullified?

Detail your case. Two bits you can't.
