"The judiciary has become our equivalent of the mullahs."
It does seem to be getting harder to argue against that comparison. Scary.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
C'mon people.
The whole thing has been a tragedy. A terrible tragedy, but we have to go back and study our Constitution here. The whole point of that great document is to balance the three three branches of government. Judges aren't supposed to do the will of the people, they are supposed to uphold the constitution first, and lesser law second. A judge may rule badly, but to talk about the judicial branch as Mullahs? What are you thinking? Do you care about this country and this government of ours or do you just want it like it is in the movies? For 15 years judges have looked at this case carefully. Democrats and Republicans. Do we stampede over States Rights because we don't like this case? Do we Ignore the sanctity of Marriage because we heard that the Husband might have conflicts of interest? This. is. a. tragedy. It happens every DAY in this country but there are no cameras to record it. If we wanted to save everyone (and I do)... we will find we do not have the money to do it. My heart goes out to baby Star, the little girl who was taken off life support recently...OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF HER ENTIRE FAMILY. They did not have health insurance. This tragedy is part of life. We must let Terri Schiavo go.
