And this is from AP...
One year ago: Doctors in Florida, acting on orders of a state judge, removed Terri Schiavo ‘s feeding tube. (Despite the efforts of congressional Republicans to intervene and repeated court appeals by Schiavo‘s parents, the brain-damaged woman died on March 31, 2005, at age 41.)

Judges across America are becoming increasingly nervous, claiming that their judicial independence is being threatened.
The real problem is that they’re afraid of judicial accountability and the ever increasing demands by the public that the judiciary be held accountable for their actions, to cease their judicial activism and their wrongful rulings which are unjustly destroying people’s lives.

And for those critics who voice deceitful little sermonettes about government not interfering with "private family decisions," get this straight too. Government, in the person of Judge Greer, not only intervened, it prevented Terri's family from having any say in the decision. Government intervention denied Terri her rights and would not let her be represented by an attorney. Government intervention executed an innocent woman for the "crime" of being disabled and helpless.
And they call themselves republican. Hah!
Oh, the AP finally acknowledges that Terri was only brain-damaged and not comatose! How long did we have to write letters to editors (that rarely made it to print) to get them to change the way they misinformed the public on that one point alone?
