Schiavo

This is right:

"In taking jurisdiction over Terri Schiavo's case from the state courts, where conservative Republicans would have previously said it belonged, and handing it to federal judges, the Republican Party arrogated to the federal government breathtaking new powers that would have made Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan wince."

The starve Terri crowd has won the legal battle, but have lost the moral one. It's time for Jeb to step in. Send in the marshalls, reinsert the feeding tube, and then suffer the legal and political consequences.
