I am a lawyer, and that's why I am so frightened by the takeover by the courts, lawyers and legal system. I know a lot of these people and they are the LAST people you would want controlling life and death decisions. I would feel a great deal more comfortable with most of the folks on this site. The "system" has become a complete abstraction, manipulable by its players to further the desired political-social agenda. Nothing will really change until the executives and legislatures decide to take their power back. We might not have things our way then, but at least the power would be back in the hands of elected officials, and with regular opportunities to throw the b------ds out.

Thanks, I heard on the radio this morning commentary to the effect that the reason Dems want Terri to be denied right to life in this case is because the result has implications in the Roe vs Wade issue. They don't want mothers to be hassled about choosing to abort, so they defend a 'husbands' right to terminate his 'invalid' wife. This is wrong in every respect.
