Meanwhile, the Leftie Death Eaters are cheering in the streets and on their blogs because they are winning and Bush and the Red State morons are losing this one.

S’okay, boys ‘n girls, just yuck it up…

If Terri Schiavo is dying for the Constitution, she won’t be the first. If I had to die for something, the Constitution would be my first choice. A tough call but a good one by Superhawk.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this.

I broke down this morning while getting dressed after hearing that the SCOTUS rejected the parent’s plea. I have felt especially touched by this case because I have been in their shoes. My son had meningitis when he was nearly a year old and we were told that he was going to die. Well, he will be turning 17 in May, so I am not so trusting of medical opinions. I know they can be wrong, as they were in my son’s case.

However, we cannot even think of asking the President or the Governor to intervene in this manner. The reason that the U.S. IS the U.S. is because of our Constitution. Otherwise, we are simply a piece of land. They both took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and to ask them in any way to overthrow it is wrong.

I guess I need to agree with you Superhawk, as passionate as I am about Terri’s being denied her rights and that Michael Schiavo and his lackeys stink to high Heaven in all of this. The bottom line MUST be the Constitution.

So, Terri becomes a martyr for (a) advocates of living wills; and (b) the redoubled effort to fight the Left and it’s abhorrent moral relativism/culture of death agenda. (c) Indeed perhaps Justice shall be served if some cruel truth comes out regarding Michael Schiavo’s intentions.

Last: Raven’s blog And Rightly So! has an NRO article link and highlights that we all should read, if you have any doubt that there is a “reasonable doubt” regarding the medical issues involved.

Right Wing Nut House wonders if some of Terri’s advocates have gone a little too far with things:From the 11th Hour Coalition:This ad hoc partnership of religious and political organizationsâ€”which will gather in front of the White House and the

Jamie: Your passion is admirable if a little misplaced. If the constitution had been followed in the first place, we wouldn’t be talking about this case. But not opposing a President using extra-constitutional powers to effect a desired result has nightmare implications for the future.

Mr. Devore:You’re absolutely correct. It’s the President’s job to enforce judicial decisions, he being the chief executive. And it was Lincoln who, when the Supreme Court ruled some of his wartime measures unconstitutional, simply ignored the decision and kept on with what he was doing.

But this would be a different matter. A potential clash between state and federal authority (guess who’d win THAT one) not to mention as I said above, horrible precedents being set.

Actually the courts HAVE no enforcement powers. If the appropriate executives choose to ignore them, that is their prerogative. Of course the Execs depend on the legislatures to PAY for those police, so the Legislature has it’s own checks.

The courts are supposed to be powerless. The problem is that has been ignored for so long the courts actually think they have powers, and have been treated accordingly.

‘Bout time to put the black robes down.
