03/31/2005: Passing...
Paul Krugman (NY Times) had this good piece about What's Going On? about the "Culture of Life" extremists in our midst and their all out assault on our Society and the Rule of Law:"...And the future seems all too likely to bring more intimidation in the name of God and more political intervention that undermines the rule of law...
...But the big step by extremists will be an attempt to eliminate the filibuster, so that the courts can be packed with judges less committed to upholding the law...
...America isn't yet a place where liberal politicians, and even conservatives who aren't sufficiently hard-line, fear assassination. But unless moderates take a stand against the growing power of domestic extremists, it can happen here."
As a sad footnote is the final passing of Mrs.Terri Schiavo - but whether this will have any temporary effect on diffusing these issues will remain to be seen.
