more on the Schiavo case

The Florida state court judge assigned to the Schiavo case has been a friend of mine for 19 years. The people from the radical religious right who have been castigating the judge for his handling of the case might be surprised to know that he is a Republican, a Southern Baptist, and a Christian in the narrow, theological sense of "born again."

He is also a good man, he was a good lawyer, and he is one of the best judges we have in our county. He has been a respected probate judge for years. He applies the law to the cases that come before him.

This is why, when I hear Congressmen saying the Florida courts have not given Terry Schiavo "due process," I want to throw up.
