Let the judges decide Schiavo's case

I've heard so much contradictory about this case that I don't know what to believe anymore. Such is the media these days. It has the appearance of denying the reasonable request of her parents. Why should her husband be so dead set on letting her die when her parents are willing to pay all the expenses of keeping her alive?

Nevertheless, if we really believe this stuff about being a system of laws and not of men (or women), why are legislators trying so hard to make a special rule in this case? I find it hard to believe that all the courts that have looked at this case are determined to go against the law. If it were up to me, I'd be inclined to remove her husband as her guardian on the grounds of potential conflict of interest, but it's not up to me. Nor is it up to Congress to intervene. I've heard that she's is a persistent vegetative state and also that no MRI or CAT scans have been done. I don't really know if those tests would resolve the issue or not. Nothing in any test, can establish what, if anything is going on in her brain. Is she imprisoned in a useless body or just running a test pattern? Who knows? I don't. Neither does Peggy Noonan, or Hugh Hewitt. That's why we created laws and judges and guardians. If they don't work the way we expect we should change them, but what business do Congressmen have trying to short circuit the process?

In the end, nobody without supernatural powers can say whether Terri Schiavo's spirit is supporting the court or her parents. She may be yearning to stay in that wrecked body or wanting to get mortality over with. She could be in horrible pain, or totally numb. Nobody really knows. There are plenty of cases the courts are deciding that they shouldn't be, but in this one, they have jurisdiction. We should leave it to them.
