Playing to the demands of their Christian-right base, Republicans chose to abandon even the slightest notion that they support states' rights in the case of Terri Schiavo.

And is appears that the LP has no issue with "Borking" Mr. Delay. That says a great deal about with whom we are speaking as well.

And we shouldn't have sent the FBI to Mississippi in the Sixties? Killing of civil rights workers was just a states rights issue?

Opposing Federal intervention on the Shiavo case in is like opposing Federal intervention during Segregation. That's not an extreme comparison. Not at all.

There are a lot of arguments on both sides of this issue, but there is nothing wrong in the Congress & President wanting to have an independent review of the facts in the case, especially when a life was at stake.
It seems to me that a "life issue" trumps states' rights.
An accusations of hypocricy, especially in this case, is lame.

The essential problem, it seems to me, is the meaning of "clear and convincing evidence." Judge Greer was convinced, it seems, but many others were not.

The Schiavo case was about life and death which knows no boundaries. Standing for life is more important than any of the 50 States right to determine who lives or dies.

I wonder why you haven't been zotted yet.

Some Libertarians will show themselves as frauds over this issue.
Without Life, there is no liberty.

There's a reason Libertarians get zero votes.

If Terri's parents had only had the foresight to wedge a lit reefer between her lips, somewhere along the way: she'd be the Libertarian Party's designated pin-up girl for the remainder of the century. :)

Was it RIGHT to starve a living Human Being to death? The answer is NO! and no rational being can say anything different.
Yes, but the left will attempt to brand us rational folks as "hysterical."

Ben,
LIFE IS NOT A STATE govt's OR A FEDERAL govt's ISSUE - IT'S A LIFE ISSUE.
What is it about LIFE that you do not get ..??
And .. if you want hypocrisy - check out the woman (Juliet Yackel - A&E 11pm PT) who worked round the clock to save the LIFE of a CONVICTED KILLER - while she never said a word or lifted a finger to save the life of an innocent disabled woman. You people make me sick.

You think THAT article speaks truth?
LOL!
Yo "LIBERALtarianben" why not just change your party to that of a Demoncrat. You have more in common with them then you care to admit. They too love murdering babies and now the disabled that are NOT terminal.
