How about this? Terri Schiavo was a citizen of the state of Florida, and as such was entitled to have her rights defended by, yes, the President, if not the Governor of her state of residence:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Article IV.
Section. 2.
Clause 1: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
[and to cite further:]
Article II.
Section 1.
Clause 8: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
But according to Republicans (the new liberals), we're supposed to create law out of thin air, overturn state judgements, destroy federalism, and encroach upon the rights of the states to save the existence of a woman, who by those who actually inspected her (minus a supposed 'Nobel Prize nominee'), was already more than likely dead.
BTW, not as if it matters to Republicans anymore but this?
The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.
was written by James Madison. You do remember which document we credit him for don't you? I imagine he knew exactly where the President should be on all domestic issues. I know, 'facts' don't matter. Nothing does. 'We' are in control, to hell with the Constitution and the limitations upon the national government. They know what's best for us anyway right?
