DeLay the Inevitable

Thank you *Activist* U.S. District Judge James Whittemore, for refusing to order the reconnection of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, and giving her a fighting chance at death. I find the fact that this is even an issue taken up by anyone but the family and medical personnel to be nothing less than shameful, and the fact that George B*sh and the republicrats are in support of keeping her connected due to a fear of a Christian backlash is beyond pathetic. Tom DeLay has perhaps been the most outspoken, even personally attacking Michael Schiavo; "I don't have a whole lot of respect for a man that has treated this woman in this way," and "What kind of man is he?" (LA Times). Would it be too much to hope that he quietly slinks away now that the federal judge has refused to order that the tube be put back in? Naturally Schiavo's parents are taking the case to an Appeals Court, so it's too soon to dream.
I feel as if writing about this further is contributing to the problem, because it's certainly none of my business either, so I'm going to stop before I start. If anyone wants more of the goods on this, including links to information on the Texas law that then Governor B*sh signed that allows families to voluntarily discontinue "artificial nutrition and hydration" in cases just like this one, Atrios has your info. I'm just going to hope I have no reason to write about this again.
