I also find renewed faith in our constitutional system. The portion of Bush
s position that panders to the religous right has met the system of checks and balance and found itself wanting

Well the Atlanta Federal Judge will not hear the appeal. It is very interesting to note how Dubah is pandering to the right. While Gov of Texas he signed into law a bill that would have precluded the situation in Florida. That is, if the legal guardian and a panel of doctors agree that there is no hope for recovery they can proceed with next steps. No argument, no courts, no Congress.
Funny how he has changed his tune. A true flip flopper!! A willful waffler!! A presumtious panderer!!

I just wish Congress would be as quick to react to the Nations needs as pandering to a sect of voters.

It never fails to amaze me how much people try to blame the President. But that's alright. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I for one totally disagree with the above statements. I back President Bush and Congress in this matter!

I voted for Bush.

In this instance however he needs to stop pandering. Any legal scholar could have told him there was no real chance of success. I think Bush knew that and is just busy stroking the religous right. We'll see if the pandering continues.

What I think he has done is demostrate his parties congressional power very dramatically.

I think it's scaring the hell out of the democrats. A lot of other legislation will feel the changes this demonstration has wrought throughout both houses.

It never fails to amaze me how much people will do anything to back the President and Congress in any matter. Somehow they must have been chosen by divine right if they're holding down "positions of power".

So when is it NOT okay for Congress to interfere in your life? When you decide to have shrimp salad for dinner?

That's about all the guy knows how to do....oh and he makes up words at times too.

Anyone else find it laughable how fast congress can pass a law when they want to, yet how many years do they take on other legislation? I guess they figured there wouldn't be any lobbiests spreading money around on this issue, so they might as well vote.

What's really amazing is that there were only 3 (!) Senators even in town. Everyone else was on Spring Break. They had to call all the rest of them wherever they were around the world to get the votes.

It's a crappy situation, any way you look at it. I also hear the phrase "hard cases make bad laws", which seems to have held up as well.

There is a real circularity to this case--there are so many thoughts and legal questions--each stance can be argued, and rebutted, and rebutted, ad infinitum.
