Extract But before the right goes too far down the road of outrage over "judicial activists" who have ruled against Terri Schiavo's parents, it ought to take a head count of the federal judges who have had an opportunity to rule on the case so far. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene in the case before Congress involved itself. Among the nine justices on the Supreme Court, seven were appointed by Republican presidents, just two by Democrats. After Congress intervened in the Schiavo case over the weekend, the case was heard by one U.S. District Court judge, a Democratic appointee. Then 12 judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals had had their say -- six appointed by Democratic presidents, six by Republicans. All together, then, 22 federal judges have had a hand in bringing the Schiavo case to where it is today. Thirteen of them were appointed by Republicans; just nine were appointed by Democrats. If the solution to an "out of control" federal judiciary is putting more Republican nominees on the bench, then the Schiavo case -- like the legal disputes over gay marriage -- isn't much evidence of that. |

But, Jimcomma, just think....
If the case had been heard by Democratically appointed judges, why they would have required that she be kept alive for ever, just to create a continuing drain on the treasury as well as a need for bigger government and more taxation! At least the Repuiblican judges said, "it's up to everybody to shift for themselves, without any socialist help from society in general".......(er, that *is* what they said, right.....oh, no.....wait........) |

You continue to make it a left vs right issue. That, my friend, is not the issue, although the left has chosen to make it so. Did you listen to the interviews from the link I posted? What are your comments on the interviews? Here again is the link. http://www.glennbeck.com/audio/free-audio.shtml |

The above makes no mention of "activist judges" The reference comes from the right wing mantra; chanted whenever they don't get what they want. |
