As you've probably heard by now, Gov. Jeb Bush (following the passing of a bill by both chambers of the Florida legislature) has ordered that Terri Schiavo's feeding tube be reinserted, and doctors have begun administering the fluids that will save her life.

The would-be murderers of Mrs. Schiavo are screaming "unconstitutional" at the top of their lungs. While they are all for the unconstitutional weilding of power by the current judicial monarchy, it suddenly bothers them when someone else starts issuing decrees. According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel:
Bruce Winick, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Miami's law school, said legislators in essence made "an end run around the judiciary, and that really threatens the principle of the independence of the judiciary."
No, what it threatens is the unchallenged judicial tyranny that we have been living under for years now. It finally imposes a much-needed democratic check on the runaway, dictatorial judiciary. It's about time.
