Even some of the wild-eyed lefties at the Village Voice can see that Judges are committing murder...putting strict interpretations of Dred Scott law above morals and human rights.
More and more people will see this for what it is, too.
Yikes!!!!! This is from The Village Voice? Never thought I'd see the day.
Glad to see this is not just exclusively a 'conservative' issue anymore.

Wow. This is one of the best articles on this case.
I am floored that it was printed in the Village Voice.
Wow! From the Village (Idiot) Voice no less. Rereading the particulars of the case and Greer and the ACLU and Michael Schiavo's conduct makes my blood boil! Murderers!
From the Village Voice? How did this article escape an editorial excision?
Last week, NBC News had a story about high gasoline prices that blamed demand, especially in China. No mention of Bush, Cheney, Halliburton or corporate greed. Has the world gone mad?
Finally we can all agree on this! Anyone not agreeing with this sees through sadistic sunglasses Terri wearing the Emperor's old clothes.
The crackling sound you hear is the sound of icicles forming in Gehenna!
...wow read.
I especially approve of the term "Judicial Murder". The law did not require Terri to die, as due process under the 14th Amendment clearly has been violated, executing a woman who committed no crime based on the say-so of her husband using a civil preponderance of the evidence standard.
It is a FLAGRANT and OBVIOUS violation of due process.
Murder,plain and simple, with help of a sh*tty law and amendments thereto passed by morons in the FL legislature. Terri's innocent blood is on their hands, too.
This is bigger than a political/ partisan issue. I think it is an issue of a person's humanity.
Yeah, Nat Hentoff is a leftie, but pro-life. He is consistently pro-life, i.e. anti-abortion, anti-death penalty, anti-torture. I respect him for his consistency.
People shouldn't be too surprised. Nat Hentoff is a true civil libertarian and 20 years ago wrote denouncing the starvation of a Downs' Syndrome baby. After that he began to rethink his convictions on life issues and became a pro-life atheist. His voice is a powerful one, because the Andrew Sullivans and other useless slime of the world can't label him a "theocrat".
I often disagree with Hentoff, but he is one of the few consistent and principled liberals out there, so this does not really surprise me. He, like Christopher Hitchens, sometimes "gets it" to a degree many on the right do not. I could nitpick with some of what he says, but overall, I will give him much credit for this.
Oh, and the ACLU did everything in its power to violate Terri's civil rights and to murder her, not mentioned by Hentoff.
And, this Judicial Murder can STILL be stopped.
If the U.S. Justice Department took her away based on violation of her 14th Amendement Rights, under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 and others.
Or, if Governor Bush would use his Executive Powers and enforce the removal statute, instead of cowering in fear of a county probate judge who has usurped powers he does not have (enjoining the executive branch from enforcing the law).
It is sickening and a failure of leadership, in my opinion.
And another voice is heard from.... a day late and a dollar short.
Oh my, what a day, finding an issue that I agree with Jesse Jackson and the Village Voice on all in one day.
The courts have ordered her to be made dead.
Ghoulish, concise truth.
