This battle is becoming more and more emotional as we near the end. There are two battles going on. The first is between Pro-Life forces and Terri's husband. The second is between the judicial banch and the executive/legislative branches. Both are facing another test as Congressional Republicans seek to bring the Supreme Court into the fray. All of the talk of Judicial activism and unbalancing of powers is about to come to a head. The idea has always been that no branch has unlimited power over the others, but the courts in this case have decided that their power can not be overruled - even by the Constitutionally-given powers of the Legislature and Executive combined. The Supreme Court refused to take a stand the last two times that Mrs. Schiavo's case came up - they refused to even hear it. This time, it is likely they will do the same thing. Which will leave the question open: What will the judicial branch do if the Executive Branch refuses to enforce the order and if the Legislative branch steps in and passes a law despite the courts?
I know some are sick and tired of this case. But if someone does not do a sensible thing soon, it is likely to change our system of government in irreversible ways.
