All of my neighbors but two are upset about this and I just got back from the gym and Mr. Peach and I got in a discussion with another guy and he and his wife are upset as well.

Now a friend from CT just called and she's not pleased and I haven't even opened my e-mail yet.

Most of these people haven't spoken specifically about the Terri Schiavo case and how they feel about her but rather the broader implications for how this will affect family and hospital decisions that are made thousands of times a day across the country.

It's pretty bad. Congress has apparently dropped all effort on such things as taxes, Social Security, tort reform, the war, entitlement reform, the budget, and everything ELSE that they're paid to worry about to take this up. That they've done it due to the pressure of some extremist groups doesn't help.

The polls over the next few days will be painful to look at. In FR's "ehco chamber", and in this hothouse of emotional venting, it's easy to miss the fact that the larger swath of Americans does not like this, or the precedent it sets.

There are large numbers of voters who supported the President and the Republicans based on the security issue, but were a bit leery of the religious right. Their fears are now being confirmed. We can only hope they don't remember this in 2006, or the Senate at least is in jeapardy.
