Although you did have to argue against doctors, you did have the privilege of the government not interceding in your personal affairs. That's all I was saying. It's tough enough without making you, or anyone else's personal struggle a national spectacle.

I was speaking in a general sense. My feelings would be the same if any other party was in power right now trying to do the same things.

This case has been tossed around for 15 years and 4 appeals. All the tests have been done. If her family had a claim with any legs (be it financially, alleged abuse, ect.), they would have been given custody long ago. They're grasping at straws.

My point in bringing up that soldier was in light of another event where politicians and celebrities used a trajedy to grandstand toward their own ends. They were both equally sick displays of self-importance. That was the basis of the comparison, and nothing more.
