Elephant In Exile

Apparently Mr. Benett pulled himself away from the casino long enough to write this eloquent, but none-the-less terrifying screed on the Schiavo case. His thesis, the courts are irrelevant, Governor Bush should act and claim a mandate from the people as his justification. Yes, yes! Let's dump or system of deciding these difficult issues based on law and fact and subsitute it with a political mechanism that allows well connected advocates of a particular ideology to make decisions regardless of the law, of the rights of married couples or the principles of limited government.

Money Quote:

"It is a mistake to believe that the courts have the ultimate say as to what a constitution means"

Time to stop studying poker and black jack and start studying government Mr. Bennett.
