If you happened to catch Hannity and Colmes last night, Catherine Crier was promoting her book, cowritten with another lawyer (maybe a judge), a man of great sense...can't recall his name. Anyway, Catherine went ballistic about this case, said it was all political, that the judicial branch was under attack, that they'd done the right thing denying Terri food and water, etc. She looked as if her head was going to explode because the other lawyer kept making sensible points, such as the fact that activist judges terrified of what's coming down the road were asserting power over congress and the president. He insisted what they'd done was unconstitutional.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Focus on the Family Chairman Dr. James C. Dobson issued the following statement today after learning of the death of Terri Schiavo:
"Today is a tragic day for the Schindler family - and, indeed, for the entire human family. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Schindlers, who have been made to watch their beloved daughter and sister waste away for the last two weeks - under not only the approval of the courts, but under their direct order.
"Every Florida and federal judge who failed to act to spare this precious woman from the torment she was forced to endure is guilty not only of judicial malfeasance – but of the cold-blooded, cold-hearted extermination of an innocent human life. Terri Schiavo has been executed, under the guise of law and 'mercy,' for being guilty of nothing more than the inability to speak for herself.
"I grieve for the Schindlers today, and I fear for the future of our nation."
Jay Sekulow (sp?) v. Crier. She's a judge, 'nuff said.
Ultimately, what's constitutional doesn't depend on what judges say, or what Congress says, or any of that. Ultimately, the Constitution has as much or as little meaning as we, the people, allow it to have. Right now, there isn't much of a clamor to change things, so that'll have to change before the law can change, likely.
