Well this is actually the correct way to go about it. The courts are only allowed to rule on existing law. Which they did, correctly. The legislature can make laws...which they did. What they have done is given the governor the authority to intervene *temporarily*. This law will now go to the courts for a ruling on the constitutionality of it, but in the meantime now would be an excellent time for them to attempt to teach her to eat like the girls family requested. If they could make use of the time granted them by Bush's stay (which he just ordered a few moments ago) and prove that she is capable of learning, it would go a long way toward making their case in the courts.

Now, I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment, and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity. --Gilda Radner __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
