Re: Bush\'s response

So, it's judicial activism when Florida's appellate courts, the 11'th Circuit, and the Supreme Court *all* rule the same way in the Schiavo case, but not when Texas appeals courts decide a lawyer who slept through his client's trial isn't enough to overturn a verdict?

Terri Schiavo was on trial for her life w/o ever having committed a crime. A miscarriage of justice in and of itself. But hardly a reasonable comparison to the case you presented. That man was actually on trial for a crime. I don't have the facts of the case that you cite, but something tells me there's more to it than the simplistic veiw you've offered.
