- Florida court orders the starvation of an invalid? States' rights.

You guys complain about activist judges, until they uphold the law (the law on the books at the time) on a cause "conservatives" have decided to take on, to create their typical spectacle, at which point the wingnuts change the law to give federal courts appeal path. And, now a fed judge has reviewed the case and decided that the 19 hearings held heretofore were adjudicated correctly, and it is unlikely that the case would yield different results in a fed court. I suppose it's possible that an appellate court would see it differently, but until then, what the hell are guys talking about?


They are some of the most unenlightened, poorly educated people in this country and they have firm control of the reigns of gov't. Hollywood should do a movie:

Bubba goes to Washington!

Apparently, Congressional GOPers are like Bush:

''Bush, himself the most intellectually backward American president of my political lifetime, is surrounded by advisers whose bellicosity is exceeded only by their political, military and diplomatic illiteracy,'' Kaufman wrote.

Al, You guys complain about activist judges, until they uphold the law (the law on the books at the time)

So you're all for upholding the law, except in cases where activist judges use the Swiss army knife of "equal protection" to carve out new law.

Maybe Schiavo's parents should have argued on the basis of "equal protection."
