Delaying Schiavo’s Eternal Rest

Posted at 11:57 am on Saturday, April 2, 2005, in Uncategorized, and tagged bush.

Although it may seem not to be true (as one may look at my past posts), I am very tired of blogging the Terri Schiavo case. The one thing that keeps me going is that the media keep manipulating the news and the GOP just won’t quit. Remember, it was the highly unconstitutional act of Congress that set us off.

Today’s headline in the Washington Post: DeLay Wants Panel to Review Role of Courts

The majority leader said Thursday he wants to examine what he called the “failure” of state and federal courts to protect Schiavo.

DeLay issued a statement asserting that “the time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior.” He later said in front of television cameras that he wants to “look at an arrogant, out-of-control, unaccountable judiciary that thumbed their nose at Congress and the president.”

DeLay told Fox News interviewer Brit Hume on Thursday that there are “a lot of questions that need to be answered.”

“We need to look at this case,” DeLay continued. “We need to look at the failure of the judiciary in Florida. We need to look at the failure of the judiciary on the federal level.”

Delay just doesn’t get it. The law they crammed through Congress and Bush flew home in the middle of night to sign was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It is the duty of the legislative branch to MAKE laws, the executive to ENFORCE the laws, and the judicial to INTERPRET the laws. The interpretation of the law was that it was unconstitutional. Similarly, pass a law banning the placing of a pirate flag on the roof of a house. See what happens.

The truth, as I see it, is that Delay has egg on his face. (I never really knew what that meant.) He has to keep the gig going to continue to divert the attention away from his forced-resignation for his criminal activity in the House. You read it here first.
