You have no right to judge the motivations of those who bothered to try and help the Schindler family, since all you did was sit on your *ss and type words against them.

Your claim that saving Terri would create some massive new Federal power is ridiculous. All it required was the exercise of the power the Federal government has always had...the power to enforce the fundamental rights found in the Bill of Rights.

And that didn't even need to happen. The Governor could have easily done the same under Article One, Section Two of the FL Constitution.

As opposed to your automatic right to judge the motivations of posters who disagree with you. Got it.

Wrong. I studiously avoided this issue for months preferring to avoid the nastiness generated by the Schindlers' supporters. It was obviously going nowhere and looked to be a great danger to FR and conservativism because of their fantical ignorance. I was totally correct about that danger.

And yes involving more federal supervision over the thousands of cases like this which exist any given day would mean a vast increase in federal power especially the courts.

Your continuous demonstration of constitutional ignorance would be amusing if there weren't less discerning minds reading them and swallowing the crap contained within.

What could be more pretentious or arrogant than unqualified and self-designated "experts" claiming they know more about the laws than real experts advising the Bushes who were on YOUR side. If they can't find a legal loophole IT AIN'T THERE.

EV, I know how a lot of folks feel about what Governor Bush did and didn't do, but I think we should all be able to agree that he was not guilty of political opportunism. I'll bet you noticed that a lot of politicians worked very hard to steer clear of this entire incident. This Schiavo case was just about as sad and painful as a case can be and it just wasn't designed to have any kind of happy ending. It was like a bag of poison for any politician who couldn't or didn't avoid it.

I can't think of anyone who benefited politically from this case. And, I can't imagine anyone ever having thought they could. ;-)
