Michael Schiavo must be happy. His wife is dead. He killed her. And he won't even have to face justice for it because those who usually dispense it gave him permission to do so. Those who amuse themselves looking for similarities between modern America and the Nazis should look no further than this. In fact, Michael Schiavo's attorney might have had a lot to teach the Nazis. All you need to do is give the Jews stuffed toys, play Mozart to them, put flowers in their barracks and tell the Allies, "They're really all brain dead; they can't feel." Nazism might have survived to this day; isn't that a heartwarming thought? Oh wait, it did.
I don't question why this happened. I am stunned and heartbroken that we have so far to go to become a culture of life. But what happened is no mystery. It came out in the protests. The Florida Courts were humiliated in 2000; they didn't want it to happen again. They had to enforce their decrees no matter who got in the way. Hatred for Bush was directed against an innocent woman, just as that hatred is focused on troops in Iraq. When will the media start counting the dead terrorists with the same glee that they count dead US and coalition troops? The judiciary is stepping out of bounds, ruling like they're God, and whenever this is challenged, the Left goes into hyper-prevent hold. What you should hear through all the blather about states rights (which really means "state court rights") is: "We don't like representative government, because whenever the people are represented, we lose. So we have to turn to unelected elites to lay down the law." The judicial system was a check on Congress and the President but they are not the end-all of constitutional government. We need to curb their excesses to get back to three separate and equal branches of government. I'd rather entrust my freedom with two elected branches of government than a tiny minority who will never be accountable to anyone until we hold them accountable. I'm sorry that it takes this to get us to see the wildness of the judicial system. Rein in those judges.
My prayers are with the Schindler family at this time. As for that beast, I don't much care. He can't even contain his jubilation. The smile is barely hidden. I hope I never get to such a state where innocent life means so little to me.
