I thought there was nothing more to say about the Baby Veronica case but then I happened to come upon Susan Estrich today on Yahoo that totally makes me sick--written as it is from the Capobianco playbook. I'll have to quote a bit here to give you the tenor of this:
"Why should the rights of the tribe trump the rights of the adoptive parents?
"What gives the tribe ownership of a child whose father has given up
his parental rights and whose mother has decided that adoption is in her
best interests?
"Why should the rights of the tribe force a woman to raise a child she
may not be capable of raising — in which case, no one in the tribe
could complain — rather than allowing the child to be placed with a
loving family?
