I'm not sure a governor can do anything to a state judge here, unless there are criminal issues. I live in Florida, and Gov. Bush has been really good on this and has filed numerous briefs defending Terri Schiavo all along. Of course, they've all been ignored, because the (liberal) judges have their own agenda.

But I really feel that somehow the system of checks and balances - the Federal system, which is of course copied by most states in their charters - is being enormously misused, and judges have taken on a power that is almost unstoppable. I'm not quite sure how we should handle it, though. Or even if there's any way of handling it.

I plan to go to a vigil or some sort of event for her, and I can scarcely believe that this is happening, because it's so awful.

But I think the real problem is that somehow we have ended up with a judiciary that is in place for life and can impose its will on all the rest of us, including elected officials.
