The Schiavo Silliness Continues: Here Comes Da Judge!
March 21, 2005
As Boston radio talk-show host Howie Carr pointed out today, the judge is a Clinton appointee, which means he’ll probably uphold the various rulings of the Florida courts, which have repeatedly asserted that Michael Schiavo has the right to pull the tube.
Look, I think Mikey Boy’s a somewhat dubious figure, but unfortunately, he’s a dubious figure with the legal right to say "when"–and it’s bizarre and sickening to see Congressional Republicans attempting to interfere with the rule of law in this manner. It’s amazing–seven years ago, these same Republicans asserted (rightly and justifably) that the rule of law dictated that Bubba had to be punished for his perjury and obstruction of justice in the Paula Jones/Monica Lewinsky matter. Now they say the rule of law doesn’t matter because "maintaining the culture of life" is more important. Where I come from, that’s called the ends justifying the means. Clinton molesting the rule of law seven years ago was disgusting. The GOP molesting the rule of law now is almost as bad.
