Be careful what you wish for.
Many folks are desperatly wanting the Judiciary to intervene in the Terri Schiavo case. I think that the judges are doing the right thing, no matter how painful it is.
The fact of the matter is that the husband should have the final say in his wife's care. She has left her parents to cleave unto him, and for better or for worse, he has been given authority over his household.
I think it is a dangerous precedent for the judiciary to ignore that truth. He may do a terrible job of running his family, but it is still his family to run.
Many will argue that his adultourous relationship should absolve him of his responisiblity and authority. I think that this should be a matter for legislators to look at. Adultry should be wrong. Legally however it is not. Judges are forced to look at legalisms, not at moral judgements when making their decisions.
If judges used morality to make their descisions, when we choose to do irrational things like forgive our enemies, and trusting God, Judges would be able to overrule us.
