Yeah, right, Joe. “But it’s wrong!”

Well, you’re wrong.

Boy, that helped a lot, didn’t it?

The fact remains that after ten years of adjudication, every judge and every examination has come out on the side that Terri expressed the desire not to be maintained artificially. Is the law “right”? I dunno. Is it “just”? I used to date a lawyer and she told me that the first thing they told her in law school was not to expect the law to lead to “justice”?

But I’m not making a slippery slope argument: you’re specifically saying in this context, in this case, “When a court is this wrong, I think it’s entirely approrpriate for the legislature to overrrule it. Or the executive. Civil disobedience is appropriate too. If I were on a jury, I would never convict Ms. Schiavo’s parents if they were charged with bringing a pistol and a bottle of water into her room.”

And you’re an “officer of the court”.

Feh.
