Most Judges and law clerks (esp in a city the size of Indy) have some form of legal training and should know how to word rulings to express their true intent...... that being the case..... the true intent ( prohibits him and his ex-wife from exposing their child to "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals.") and it is very obviously a thumbing of the nose at the 1st Amendment.

Again another right winger who wants to point to posts that have Bush's name in them and cry Bush bashing and holding desperately to excuses for a judge's prejudicial ruling.

So now from the Right I have:

- Wicca insinuated as a cult,
- a fringe religion that people change like socks,
- compared to Heavens Gate
- then the press article itself was challenged
and now.....
- Bush bashing as the sole reason for this thread.
- and another who seems to want to use the "nudity" issue even though it has been shown where the father says he doesn't practice in the nude already.... in the articles and in posts.

Have yet to hear a Righty say that this ruling is flat assed wrong and not make excuses as to why the ruling is ok.........

Where are you Righties? Show me that you can demoan a conservative judge as much as the Shiavo Judges..... (and by the way Schiavo was not a Fed. case (nor a Constitutional case) but was IMHO wrongly made to be one...... this is very much a Constitutional case, very much legislating from the bench and yet silence, excuses and not 1 of you are saying the judge is wrong.

Show me that you mean it when you say Judges shouldn't legislate from the bench.... because that is EXACTLY what this judge did.... he allowed unconstitutional wording to be put into his ruling and upheld it as law....

If this had happened to a Christian family regardless of denomination (snake handlers, tongues, the polygymous sect of Mormonism... etc) there would be an outcry heard that would make Schiavo's case small in comparison. It would be on every news channel and the Right would be demanding the Judge's head.

And yet.......... silence and excuses and very very little national media coverage. So in all honesty, was my friend truly wrong? Because right now the party that Bush represents is giving it the silent approval IMHO.
