[Wampus SC]

"As it is an affair within the state of South Carolina involving private citizens, common sense would argue that this is an issue for South Carolinians and South Carolinians only."

I posted that information prior to BB, and I'm a South Carolinian -- so tell all that to me, all right?. This "affair" "involving private citizens" is now a court case, and court cases are public matters. Involvement from all over is welcome, because sometimes court decisions result in something called a precedent. (Look the term up if you don't know what it means. I'm sure you're capable.) Precedents are then used as a guide in deciding other cases - in other states, sometimes the whole country, potentially affecting everyone. Maybe even you.

1. You are injured.
2. You clearly communicate that you want to live.
3. Someone orders you doped up so much that you can't communicate, and removes any means of communication.
4. Then you can be killed.

That's Billbear's America. Who wants that America?

Okay let's look at precedent shall we? Would Scalia's decision in Cruzan suffice? Who did he say should make this decision? If you are a South Carolinian, get to it and save this man's life. Allow your legislature to act as they see fit. Call officials you elected.

I realize some around here would federalize every moral decision under the sun if Republicans remain in charge, however Madison was quite clear. I also realize Republicans selectively forget the Framers when it stands in the way of their 'crusades', however conservatives don't.
