The latter assigns solely to Congress the role of lawmaking and the creation, configuration and even the dissolution of all federal courts save the Supremes. But they also have the power to limit the high court's appellate jurisdiction as they see fit, as they have done before and are considering again.

While leftists in Congress will fight judicial reform and abrogate their Senate duty to advise and consent on judicial appointments through filibusters, their allies in the media and academia will do battle on the 'God' front.

A reliable weapon in their arsenal was used once again to label those who defend innocent life as the lunatic fringe of the religious right. By using Clintonian language, skewing the facts and downright push-polling, they pulled out all the stops and succeeded in molding public opinion, which probably restrained further federal action in Terri's case.

Since the left and their ACLU allies have been moderately successful in demanding a separation of church and state, they now seek the separation of church and people. For we now live in a country where even the most casual religious believer is reviled by the intelligentsia as some kind of fanatic, devoid of any reason, as if, for most of recorded history, man has not sought out and worshipped his creator.

This God-fearing coalition, who seeks to dispel any religious or moral input into the affairs of state, has scored a victory with the execution of a beautiful young woman they deemed unworthy to live. They have also succeeded in the further crippling of the Constitution toward the creation of a super-judiciary.

Will their winning streak continue?
