| Schiavo madness |
What have we learned from the Terri Schiavo case? That the Congress of the United States under its current leadership, along with the U.S. president, have absolutely no respect for the rule of law, for the judiciary in general, or for the authority of state courts (why is it that the PTB -- powers that be -- are always so dismissive of the Florida court system...?)
So now we have the Congress passing a last-ditch law to drag the Schiavos back to federal court (with the president scrurrying back to Washington to sign it), and the GOP smelling political advantage and having the cheek to say as much in a very poorly timed memo.
At least one poll shows that most Americans have the good sense to oppose this unprecedented federal intrusion into the most intimate aspects of life. [See earlier post on the GOP nanny state]
Oh, and here's a nice flashback that provides proof that you can learn a lot from the Lionel Show: What's the role of money in the Schiavo case? Michael Schiavo's detractors claim he's out for money, but could the parents be battling him over money, too? |
