Reply #57: Scary scenario: what happens when they ultimately lose in Federal Court? [View All]

[Strawman]

Has anyone heard what their next move will be? A federal law? Will Republicans craft it specifically to this case or will it affect all people with brain dead relatives who wish to remove their feeding tubes?

The drama is so high now, what happens if Jeb has to surround that hospice with the National Guard to keep the pro-lifers at bay the next time her feeding tube gets removed? This is a high profile crusade now for them. I'm starting to worry that they will ultimately get what they want by any means necessary. I used to be of the opinion that this was a classic case of the Republicans winning with fundies by losing. The longer this goes on, I'm not so sure that will happen without them paying a major political price among non-fundies. It's possible that the Republicans who are trying to ride this tiger may end up being sorry when it bites them in the ass big time. They are in cahoots with some real nutcases now in a high profile case. They have shown so little respect for the laws of Florida in this case, how will they distance themselves from any of their more unhinged cohorts in the pro-life movement who decide to take the law into their own hands?
