No, what's really bad is that people don't understand that congress has the right and obligation to set the jurisdiction of our Federal courts.

Is it amazing how little understanding Americans have about the Constitution? I mean, Congress doesn't overstep its bounds when they authorize a prescription medicaid benefit?

I wanted Terri Schiavo to live but I didn't want to trample all over the Constitution either. We clearly avoided several Constitutional hurdles in this case as Congress is vested with unlimited authority to determine the jurisdiction of the federal court system.

Of course it doesn't. Congress doesn't have the authority to create an expensive new entitlement program. It does have the power to protect our God-given rights. What's funny is the very people who object to protecting those rights are the same people who demand to be wards of the state.
