Look, that's an interesting moral question, and one I don't necessarily disagree with, but it's beyond the scope of this argument.

The question is whether federal courts have jurisdiction here. I don't think they do. It's an issue for Florida to decide, not Congress.

Well, when Gov. Bush signed legislation (which I admit I haven't actually read) allowing more time for Terri, the state supreme court ruled it unconstitutional. Do you believe the state supreme courts or the US supreme court correctly interprets laws all the time? Some of the time? Only when you agree with them? People who see the law as the end all scare me. Laws are always subject to interpretation, for right or wrong. And if you don't think the congress has any business messing with states' rights, then the baseball hearings must really drive you crazy!
