Uh-Oh....

Boston's version of a conservative daily newspaper, The Herald, editorializes that the congressional Republicans might have started something they can't finish:


"In his effort to pander to right-to-life groups, the
ethically challenged House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has set in motion a chain
of events that Democratic liberals are only too happy to exploit for their own
purposes. There used to be a philosophical base to Republican congressional
thinking - and action - that left to the states issues properly within their
purview. ..

......Now Frank, who to his credit opposed the special interest bill
passed for Terri Schiavo's parents, thinks it's just fine for Congress to
address the broader issue. Frank said on ABC Sunday, ``I think Congress needs to
do more. Because I've spoken with a lot of disability groups who are concerned
that, even where a choice is made to terminate life, it might be coerced by
circumstances...''


...Just want we need - the federal government poking into every hospital room in America, into every painful family decision. And, thanks, Tom DeLay, for 'elevating' the
debate.'"


Now let's see....where have I read something like this before. Hmmmmmm....

"And if the U. S. Congress makes a practice of statutorily granting individual people standing in such 'special circumstances,' I for one can think of plenty of horrific implications." [See Monday's Post]

Like Barney Frank instigating federal intervention on this issue. Does that qualify as horrific?
