Conservative crack-up?
Glenn opines as to whether the conservative coalition at the heart of the Republican Party will split over the Schiavo incident. I suppose this is some high-powered wishful thinking on his part, but I suggest he be more concerned over the impact this might have on Republican judicial nomineesa dn the basic will to get them through despite the consequences. Of course, judges nominated by a conservative might be inclined towards judicial restraint in the face of requests for intervention in states' matters, and may well have decided the same way in the schiavo as the others have done. It seems, however that the Clinton appointees have behaved differently than the Republican appoointees.

Notice the phrasing of this poll question: Do you believe Terry Schiavo has the right to die?
Is that the issue? Isn't it more a question of whether her wishes are known, as the main evidence for her "wishes" is a husband with a conflict of interest?

Open letter to Maureen Dowd:

Is "liberties" in your email address because you take liberties with reason?
"now they're trying to pack the federal bench with trustworthy conservatives"
Would you rail against appointments to the judiciary if "trustworthy" liberals were being appointed? We both know you would not.
Bush didn't "...talk about the more than a hundred thousand people who died in the horrific tsunami"
Did you object that Kofi Annan stayed at his ski resort for days after the tsunami? As Bush vacationed, however the US military delivered immediate aid to the victims. How would his talking have helped anyone?
Why do you make the Schiavo case primarily about religion?
"The more dogma-driven activists, self-perpetuating pols and ratings-crazed broadcast media prattle about "faith," the less we honor the credo that a person's relationship with God should remain a private matter."
When people of religious conviction stand in vigil outside a prison on the eve of an execution do you cry out about the establishment of a theocracy?
I thought liberals applauded the intervention of the Federal Courts in the pursuit of an individual's rights? How does Terry Schiavo fail to qualify? Because she's brain-damaged?
Your column is never a bastion of reason, but today you hit bottom and started digging.
