That is odd
Lawmakers seem to flip-flop when it comes to intervention
Weird how the same Republican congressmen who wanted to keep "activist judges" out of the Roy Moore flap are now trying to have Federal judges get involved in the Terry Schiavo flap. It's almost like they're just a bunch of political hacks with no actual convictions beyond doing what influential groups like the Christian Right want, but I'm sure that's not it.

"It's almost like they're just a bunch of political hacks with no actual convictions..." uncanny, really.

The phrase "wag the dog" comes to mind. That's a mighty small faction of the Republican party calling the shots.

Does anyone remember when the Republicans were just libertarians with a "small" theocratic component? I miss those days . . .
