I really don't agree.

As a republican interested in state's rights, limited government in line with classic federalism (the federalist papers anyone?), I find this entire schiavo business horrific.

The federal government does not have the power to be doing what it is doing, it reminds me of the power grab of Brown vs Board of Education.

Hard cases make for bad law.

As ugly as this Terri Schiavo business is, it is Florida's business - right or wrong.

Whether or not we disagree with it, it is not reason enough for us to lower ourselves to those who refuse to follow the rule of law (read: liberals)

Personally, I'm offended so many people here care so little for our rule of law.

It is Judge George Greer's constant disregard for the rule of law that got us here in the first place.

"State's rights, individual rights be damned!"

That what I'm hearing?

Personally I'm offended that certain people on here have so little regard for God's laws... Slavery was about state's rights too in case you forgot.. so was segregation.. states make bad laws sometimes, and when their bad laws allow murdering innocent human beings, sometimes the feds have to step in. Lots of nasty things were legal in Hitler's Germany...just because something is legal doesn't make it right..

I'm offended that you think the law states it's ok to kill the disabled.

It makes me very sad that you would care more for what you call "the rule of law" than for regard to the life a brain-damaged woman who has done nothing to harm anyone. Her life and the protection of it by government is the basis of all American law - self-evident.

what do you not understand about of the people, for the people, by the people. We think they are murdering innocent disabled people and that they are ignoring the rule of law. I don't care what state it is in, we will stand up for those that cannot speak for themselves.
