Sharp as a Marble sums it up really well.

Sharp as a Marble dusts off the usual left wing memes about the Terri case.

1. The party that wants to defend the sanctitity of marriage refuses to acknowledge it when a woman entrusts her wishes to her husband.


2. The party that wants government out of people's lives just convened an emergency session of Congress to butt into one woman's life.


3. The party that most rails against "activist judges" has just reset the process for the parents to ask the judicial system to review and re-review this case yet again until they get the results they want.


4. The party that says that thirteen years of UN Sanctions are not a rush to war thinks that seven years of constant court battles is a rush to let someone die.

Point 1. Since when does spousal privilege allow a husband to murder a wife?

Point 2. To save that life. Government is entrusted to protect our civil rights and when those rights are not adequately protected then the government must step in.

Point 3. That plan really worked, did it not? Not to mention the misrepresentation of the law. The Terri law ordered the federal courts to conduct a NEW review of the facts of the case, not how to decide it. I keep coming back to the same point this is something capital criminals get as a matter of fact.

Point 4. Is plain silliness. Once Terri is gone she is gone, all that is being asked is the same thing any convicted capital criminal gets a further review of their case.

Sharp as a Marble talks about his libertarianism. One thing I often find about libertarians is they are all about themselves.
