Sigh. Blogging is light today because I'm a bit spent. The Terri Schiavo case has been at the forefront of my mind, and the last 24 hours have been discouraging to say the least. I have plenty of grievances with both certain Conservatives and Liberals, but I just don't think that now is the time for airing them. Maybe someday, maybe never, but now accomplishes nothing for Terri Schiavo.
Many lawyer run blogs have been discouraging to read so far this week. If you'd like a small breath of fresh air from a lawyerly blog, head over to The Hedgehog Blog. The Schiavo entries are limited, but it has been one of a few small highlights around the web for me today.

I don't find the loss in the Terri Schiavo case a source of gloom. There has from the outset only been an outside chance that the courts would intervene in her behalf. It has been nearly zero possiblity in Florida courts where corrupt judges have been the norm for so long. The ONLY Federal judge ever impeached and removed from office was from Florida -- Alcee Hastings. And now he is a Congressman from the same area. Go figure.
Sometimes, Jib, it's the battle that counts. Sometimes it is standing up for what you know is right and slowing down the march toward euthanasia that is the goal of the Left. A battle is not the war. You fight that on every front - including, calling for responsible judges and recall for judges wildly out of step from the the accepted norms of society. You fight it in exposing the agenda of our lamestream media.
Terri Schiavo would die one day with or without intervention. Perhaps the knowledge that a feeding tube can legally be removed from a brain injured person who can otherwise breathe on their own is something people are now forced to face. Not the 700 snapshot ABC poll people. Who the hell watches ABC anyway except the brain dead who give opinions 40 minutes after events?
This was as much an emotional battle as an ethical and moral one. The Left did not win without opposition. And that, my friend, is a great leap from even a few years ago.
