When W. Bush interfered with Terry Schiavo's death - that was appalling and disgusting. It's the same thing: what reach does the government have into it's citizens private lives? This isn't communist China.

Woa, that's not the only question. Of course the courts and government have the right to change with the times...I'm sure glad they reconsidered Dred Scott for example. I agree that I don't want the government in the bedroom or dictating a person's choice but I'm uneasy saying the government can't change the law. I'm not sure I agree with you on the Schiavo case either.
