Another federal judge has ruled that Bush's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional. "There are no hereditary kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution," the judge said.
Last year, federal judges around the country refused a White House demand that they intervene in the Terry Schiavo case in Florida and order a feeding tube reinserted in the comatose woman doctors had found to be brain-dead. The autopsy confirmed that diagnosis.
Federal courts also have struck down the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 proudly signed by Bush. Judges have declared the law unconstitutional because it lacks an exception to protect the health of the woman.
Bush has not sat idly by accepting what he calls the "activism" of federal judges. He has proposed steadily more conservative judges to be "activist" in favor of his pursuits. While Democrats have filibustered some of his nominees, he has succeeded in getting most of them confirmed.
Bush is hoping to finally control judicial branch, too

Where do they find these stupid people? Coma and brain death are completely different. You cannot possibly be both dead and alive at the same time. Terri was neither comatose, nor dead. Some doctors claimes she met their own personal criteria for PVS, though even they admitted she didn't meet Florida's legal definition of PVS, nor the medical communities accepted standards for PVS. And the autopsy did not confirm coma, PVS, or brain death. The medical examiner specifically stated that autopsy did could not confirm a diagnosis of PVS, which can only be diagnosed while the patient is still alive. And yet, these stupid people who cannot understand any of the facts, are attempting to instruct their readers on facts they know nothing about. The scary thing is, some of their readers will repeat these fantasies as proven facts. Stupid, stupid people.
