It is ironic, isn't it. Conservatives and radical religious have been defeated in their efforts to save Terri by their own "principles".
All the judges(save one) who voted to uphold the judge's decision to allow Terri's feeding tube removed were conservative judges appointed by Republicans. Including members of the Supreme Court who turned down hearing her perents case. NO ACTIVIST JUDGES HERE. Do I hear the clapping of the Radical Right Propagandists? A victory for Conservatism.
Wait, save one? a lone Clinton appointee who voted to hear the case.... a "liberal" who cares about the rights of individuals such as "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". A judicial activist??
