Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor used a speech at Georgetown University to attack pro-life lawmakers who sided with Terri Schiavo's parents in their efforts to prevent their daughter's euthanasia death. She claimed a Congressional effort to have federal courts review the case was a first step towards a dictatorship. (Errr, last time I checked "Dictators" were not elected by the people. elected representation is called a Democracy. Dictatorship would be more appropriately applied to an unelected person(s) making laws irrespective of the majorities wishes.....you know, like an overzelous Judiciary)
O'Connor, who backs abortion, announced her retirement last year and was recently replaced by federal appeals court judge Samuel Alito, who pro-life advocates hope will be more open to upholding laws that protect the right to life.
"We must be ever-vigilant against those who would strong-arm the judiciary," she said of the pro-Terri Schiavo lawmakers.
By "those" you must be referring to "the people" Ms. O'Connor.
