He nor Congress didn't have any right or business but they did..... and the all these GOP Senators and Reps. started talking about how "liberal" the courts were. But they are all quiet when this a TRUE CONSTITUTIONAL issue has come up. NOT 1 has stood up and said the judge was wrong.... and no it may not be their job.... but Schiavo set the precedent that the FED Sen and Reps can say whatever they want and hold emergency meetings to make a case Federal.
The BS that someone was dying and therefore it HAD to be moved fast.... is just that BS.....
There's pressing questions on this case that are just as important and need immediate attention such as......
What about the time these parents aren't going to be able to practice their religion around their child???????
What about court costs and lawyers fees????????
Are these parents going to be financially able to fight this???????????????? And if so...... assuming they aren't millionaires..... how much will it cost them????
(There's the HUGE way the courts and Religious Right will win..... effectively bankrupt people into silence.... have them fight until they can't afford to anymore and then precedent is set and judges can get away with it for the next 20-30 years. Paranoia or economic truth???)
We always hear how backlogged they are and with political clout the Religious Right can get the judge to docket it as far back as possible so how long will this drag out in the courts??????
How will those parents explain it to their child?????
What repercussions will it have on the child????????
Loss of freedoms is ok for any amount of time???????
So IMHO, this may seem like an open and shut case but just look how the Right on this board have conducted themselves and if they did say it was a bad ruling, they had to throw in a disclaimer, and make sure that they insinuated Wicca as a cult. (Foolthemall and ScottKuma exempted, they came straight out said it was a bad ruling.... 2 out of how many?)
I really think this case is going to go a lot farther than many on here think it will. The judges are being pressured by the Religious Right to be conservative. Which is scary but on the other hand the one branch that so far has been able to maintain some center.... but not for much longer if the Right gets its way......
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING..........
