I'm utterly confused.

Since when does the federal legislative branch have the right to:

a) break the Constitution wrt to state's rights and intervene in an internal state matter with a federal court;

b) override a state judicial branch single-handedly, before a federal court review, and use executive powers of law enforcement to have their way;

Did I miss a few new Amendments that give Congress total authority?

Well, the Republican majority does have a holy mandate to create a culture of life and protect innocents from murdering liberals, even if it means undermining the entire system of checks and balances and limitation of federal powers... or didn't you get that memo?

Sorry for the sarcastic response, but I don't really have a logical one. I assumed you were talking about the latest media diversion in the form of Terri Schiavo. I could say what I think the GOP's purpose is in getting involved, but then I'd just get bitter and cynical and ranty, and no one wants to see that.

What, you didn't notice that the House Dems were split down the middle on the vote?

This was, for everything I can see, a bipartisan power grab of epic proportions.

Ugh, no, I didn't. I've been trying to avoid it, honestly, because I deeply fear for the legitimacy of our government and legal system already without seeking out anything else to incense me. While I cringe at the notion of being willfully ignorant, my outrage meter has been pretty much maxed out for the last few months and I don't want to risk going postal.

Preach on, sistah.
