Supporting the rule of law during the Bush/Gore recount, and opposing the rule of law for Terri is not consistent.
Yes, it is.
Every judge that saw the Schaivo case ruled against the parents. Now, if there were some level of doubt that would not have happened.
God bless Terri's parents, they meant well, but they could not let go, instead they turned this whole thing into a huge media event, where scores of people from both sides exploited her to no end.
You are not gonna change my point of view, I won't change yours, but I appreciate that we could debate without any nasty names being bandied about, I appreciate that.
Completely consistent. The Bush/Gore case had to go to the federal system as the decision directly affected a national political race. However, the Schiavo case would not, at least according to the author of the Constitution, be a national issue. It was clearly within the confines of the state's powers, and should have remained within the state court system. For the record, Greer also did not create new law but upheld previous precedent, in effect following the existing rule of law.
