It sounds like you have had a high level of interest in the Terri Schiavo case. I saw part of an interview with a doctor who had spend 10 hours with her, and determined that there was no person home. That was probably the same person.

You said that 7 of the Supremes are Republican appointees. True, but two of those are reliably liberal, including David Sueter who was an appointee of President Bush 41, at a time when any hint of valuing life would have ensured defeat in the Democrat controlled Senate.

It appears the disputed facts continue. You said: . The laws that Florida passed were clearly unconstitutional, according to all the courts who reviewed them. The joke of a 'law' passed by Congress, whose conservative members were clearly grandstanding the issue, was thrown out just as quickly as the most frivolous lawsuit.

The Florida courts have proved to be a reliable bastion of liberalism. The SCOToF violated the law so blatantly in 2001, that the SCOTUS was forced to overturn them after having vacated their first blatant violation.

The Federal courts dismissed the law past in haste without a fair hearing. Yes, the SCOTUS declined the opportunity to rule on this case. We do not know their reasons were. They did not rule on it, they merely declined to hear it.

It appears that change is very slow to happen to the Catholic Church. I wonder if that is all bad. IMO, the Pope stayed longer than he should have. It would have been better for the church to start succession planning earlier. We all hope the next Pope can have as profound influence on the freedoms of the people in this world as the last one did. I still think he was a significant factor in the success of Solidarity. Without both him and President Ronald Reagan, would the Iron Curtain have fallen when it did?
