Who are these “mystery judges” in the Terri Schiavo case? Where and when did they obtain the power to put their agenda over anyone else’s? How is it that we can impeach a president but we’re stuck with a judge until they retire or die? They are imbedded like ticks.
One man challenges the pledge, another doesn’t like the Ten Commandments display and a mystery judge, whose name we never know, says they are unconstitutional. I don’t remember being asked my opinion, as in a vote. And like it or not, those ideals are written, in stone, all over Washington D.C., so someone thought they were important.
The concept of “by the people, for the people” is a major reason why this country was founded. Why can the mystery judges overrule the Florida Legislature’s bill to have the tube re-installed? This was voted on by people who represent the people.
And how could Michael Schiavo be allowed to block Terri’s parents, the people closest to her and who obviously cared for her much more than he did, from being with her at her last breath? Unbelievable.
I don’t care which side of the argument you’re on, the ability of these judges to take their opinion and call it law by hiding behind “unconstitutionality” is scary. Isn’t this the way the church ruled before Martin Luther created a Bible version that people could read? If you don’t or can’t read it, you can’t challenge it. Get the Constitution and the Bill of Rights into the hands of the people again and let them see exactly what is in there. I believe you will see how judges use the power to bend it, fitting their own ideals.
