Why can't we have federal marshals come in to physically protect Terri?

Didn't President Eisenhower send in marshals (or was it the National Guard?) to protect black school children trying to enter the public schools down in Little Rock?

It was federal law, after all, NOT state law, that ordered that black children could attend those schools.

(And I'm guessing the state law and state courts of the time --and Governor Orville Faubus-- said much the same thing to Eisenhower that Judge Greer is now saying to Tom DeLay!)

Good grief, we've had the feds intervene in state issues many times --just think ROE V. WADE-- with the liberals cheering the federal intervention on. SO WE CAN DO IT TOO, particularly when it is a constitutional matter of deprivation of LIFE.

Exactly. I've asked Jeb to do so many times. He is listening, we just need to keep it up.
