He would be called upon to stand up, and to take on the dark EVIL forces that prevent Terri from being kept alive, with the same vigor, moral fiber, fortitude and courage as did Bobby Kennedy/Nicholas Katzenbach stand up to Governor George Wallace, or President Kennedy stand up to Governor Ross Barnett or President Eisenhower to stand up to Governor Faubus. In those cases, only the mere right to go to school or the right to vote were backed up with FORCE. This is our American History, painful but principled at times.

If it is impossible for a Governor of the People to back up even the RIGHT TO LIFE for an innocent person, which supercedes 'school' or 'voting' in my book, then what are we to say for ourselves.
