If you really believe that, I pity you.
Civil disobedience? For enforcing the Fifth Amendment he swore to uphold? That would be funny if it wasn't so seriously twisted. You've bought into the basic lies about our system that have been propagated by the judicial supremicists.
Would the scene of our President being led away in hand cuffs satisfied the Shiavo supporters? No thanks.
You can't really believe that would have happened, can you? First, he would have to be impeached, by a conservative House of Reprentatives, then convicted by a Republican Senate, then charged with a crime...the crime of overruling a penny-ante GOP RINO judge on an issue of the Constitution of the United States...then convicted by a jury of his peers for the awful act of saving a woman's life. All the pigs on earth would all rise up into the sky simultaneously and soar first.
It wouldn't have saved Terri anyway.
It most certainly would have. A simple order from either the Governor or the President would have saved her immediately. I talked to LE on the scene about this exact issue, I know. They laughed at the silly notion that they might ignore such an order. And the family had a medical team standing by the whole time, ready to spring into action.
And you've bought into the basic idiocy that the President has imperial powers to do whatever the hell he feels, that is as long as it agrees with your agenda. News flash for you but the limitations within the Constitution on the President are very specific. I know you may not like to hear that but I suggest you go back and give it a read. As a conservative, I don't want any President to have the ability to pass executive orders that apply to one specific person in a purely domestic issue.

Ahhh...the good ol' days. Back to the Republicans of old. We're in power. We have no opposition, so by default everything we do must be right and ordered no matter what the limitations actually are, but rather because we yell the loudest and say they are.

So you were one of those on scene? Interfering with local businesses operating regularly and keeping families from visiting their loved ones in peace? How absolutely 'thoughtful' of you....I'm sure the folks who weren't involved in this circus that missed their loved ones and the nice people of Pinellas Park who were trying to go about their everyday lives and make money for their families appreciate it more than you could ever imagine....and I can't tell you how much that pisses me off. A lot of good folks faced some serious personal hardships so you could get out there with an army of crackpots (i.e. Randall Terry and the like) to voice your opinion on an issue that was none of your business. Frankly though, I'm suprised I didn't see more of Mr. "Nobody will vote for me!!" Keyes out there stirring the pot
BTW, if you need some rebuttal for Justice Scalia's Constitutional position that I posted above, I'm sure you could rustle up something from the 9th Circuit. Now those are activists. Face it, the courts worked as they were supposed to. I think everyone's hearts went out to the grieving family and understood their grief at losing a daughter. But to overturn the Constitution, and in effect give yet another power to the national government, to do so is not something any conservative should advocate
and while that was all being perpetrated by the libs - even if they knew it was futile - it would bring the administration to a halt - which would satisfy them - and tear down half of what Bush has accomplished and all that he still can,,,
