"This entire thing is just evil and insane."

This is all a result of activist judges, who selectively ignore laws or make some up themselves, or interpret them in ways that aren't consistent with the laws -- all, just to push their own agenda.

That's why judicial appointments are so important.

We need judges who will interpret the law, the US law and the US constitution.

Even our US Supreme Court made rulings,where they referred to general public opinion and the UN and foreign courts, I think it was about eliminating the death penalty for those under 18, but I remember there was something else a while ago too.

"We need judges who will interpret the law, the US law and the US constitution."

We needed that back during the Reagan years when we might have turned things around. We didn't get it and with the additional 8 yrs. of Clinton, we have crossed the mountain and are far down the other side. I had hopes that George Bush could remedy the situation, but after looking at this and what it has exposed, it doesn't matter who he appoints to the courts. The war has been won and the people who remember what we used to be will be dying soon.

This is true. That is why I was a bit shocked to come on FR and see a lot of people saying this was a state issue and the congress should stay out of it.

These same people wanting Terry dead only so they can protect "States rights" will be back on here complaining when a state court somewhere over rules a state legislature somewhere on stopping illegal immigration like in Arizona or banning gay marriage like in Massachusetts.
We will hear them all whining, "The courts are out of control, the congress needs to do something"..blah blah blah.

I guess they seem to forget that this case would not be in the Federal courts right now if the Florida Supreme Court did not overturn the law passed to let Terry live, passed by ELECTED STATE LEGISLATORS.
