Shame of a nation

Terri Schiavo died yesterday, after being starved to death. In a shameful display of arrogance, the US Supreme Court refused to hear the pleas of her parents; and the court took this stand repeatedly.

What other business was the Court conducting that was so important that they could not stop to prevent this young woman from being murdered by starvation? They were hearing a case about internet piracy and Grokster. Yeah, that sounds soooo much more important.

The Supreme Court has become the monster that the Founding Fathers feared it would become. Held to no standard but their own, the Supreme Court has turned from the role of interpreting law and instead has mutated into the role of the creators of law, by way of interpretation. How does one conclude that anybody has the right to refuse water to somebody for two weeks? I noticed that the court ruled that enemy detainees in Guantanamo Bay cannot be moved to a foreign nation without a court order. Great; the court has time to hear the case of murders who actively fight for the destruction of our nation, and by their ruling, they manufacture laws and rights that did not exist a day prior. Enemy combatants are granted rights. Terri was ignored. Enemies are pampered. Terri was starved to death.

If the Supreme Court does not like a law, they rule it unconstitutional. Why do we never hear of Congress ruling a Supreme Court decision unconstitutional? Where is the safeguard against abuse? There is none.

The time has come to abolish the Supreme Court as it exists and replace it with a system that is just as accountable as the Legislative and Executive branches of government. We cannot have our nation held hostage by a gaggle of unaccountable pseudo-gods.
