Shameless right-wingers exploiting Terri SchiavoDid God create Schiavo case to deliver Tom DeLay
from political persecution?

Never underestimate the Republican leaders in Washington. Whenever they appear to have exhausted the possibilities for cynical abuse of their authority, they can still inflict fresh outrages upon the nation.
By intervening in the sad dispute over Terri Schiavo between her husband and parents, the President and his Congressional allies have again revealed how little respect they have for any conservative or constitutional principle that doesn't enhance their partisan power. In the name of defending human life, they have swept aside their own party's traditional commitment to federalist respect for state law and to the separation of powers between the legislature and the judiciary. In the name of equal protection under the law, they have departed from all traditional notions of legality.
Under civilized rules of debate -- particularly over a matter as emotionally disturbing as this one -- it is wise as well as polite to assume that everyone is arguing from a position of sincerity. The Schiavo case shows why those rules have become increasingly difficult to observe with a straight face.
