"The courts weren't afraid to rule on the 2000 presidential election, and they aren't afraid to rule on abortion, yet they are afraid to rule on this one case?"
IMHO yes. I think the judges in that part of the country are still revieving the wrath of West Palm Beach over 2000 and NONE of them are about to incur anymore by going against the grain in this case.
If the will of the people, as expressed by Congress, is that Terri Schiavo should not be starved to death, aren't they going against the grain by upholding Greer's rulings?
