Barbarity in America (Terri Schaivo)

Legislating from benches across AmeriKa today.

Could the judge be sued for murder? Civil charges?

[Nowhere Man]

The Rabbi is right. We in America are supposed to take the high, moral ground as we confront the evils of the world. Through the efforts of activist judges, loonie liberals and hyper-libertarians, we are letting evil loose through the land one demon at a time. How can we fight the terrorists and take the moral, high ground when we are becoming sick and demented ourselves. I don't like what I see and I fear for our future.

[Soul Seeker]

What comes to mind in the story of Terri Schiavo is the famous quotation of Pastor Martin Niemöller concerning moral failure in the face of the Nazis: "First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me." Terry Schiavo has no voice, so we must become her voice.

Indeed. Everyone contact not only our representatives but our family and our friends! We need America to understand what has happened, they clearly don't.

God, Christ, save this woman please.

Did you hear Hannity today? Terri tried to say, "I want to live!"

Why do the democrats want to kill her?

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

But honestly, which sane judge, in this case Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer, would allow a man who is living with, and has children with, another woman, to make life-and-death decisions concerning his wife? This is a shocking affront to basic decency.

This has been my problem with Michael Schiavo from the start. How can he claim the rights of a husband when he doesn't accept the obligations of a husband? And why is he being allowed to do so by Judge Greer? He stopped being her husband when he first slept with another woman.

Thank you, Rabbi.

"Could the judge be sued for murder? Civil charges?"

No. You cannot sue a public official for what he does in his public capacity. Impeachment is the only option, and no doubt a very long shot.

This judge is storing up for himself some very hot times in that eternal sulfery furnace to come.

[goldstategop]

I agree. We're a country of uncouth barbarians. Terri Schiavo deserved better from all of us. Its an amazing sight to watch a judge issue an illegal and immoral order to murder a human being and no one arrests him! He flipped off Congress and we can do nothing! All I know is that is wrong and my regard for human life isn't based on considerations of personal convenience or the might of the state.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[goldstategop]

You can affect a citizen's arrest. A judge is not above the law. Impeachment is meant to be used for official acts of malfeasance. I would have arrested Judge Greer for First Degree Murder.

[ClancyJ]

Totally agree.

There is something very foul going on here - makes one ashamed.

Why exactly does Michael retain the right of life or death over Terri when he has another wife and children?

Why is a judge willing to go to the length of ignoring supoenas in order to proceed with death to the young lady? Could it be - he fears the congressional committee and what it will find out?

Why is Terri in a hospice facility (owned I believe by the prime proponent of euthansia)?

Why are we killing people that are not brain dead. Brain dead means no mental activity? There is plenty of mental activity and movement in Terri.

Why can't our courts, our congress, our police stop murder? Are we all this subject to being killed at the whimi of others?

This did it for me.
That's some case of brain dead.
Just like Hitler's euthanasia.
Why don't they just send a rail car for Terry and take her to a gas chamber?
After all that is who they are.

What woman, or even a man on an opposite side, could accept Michael Schiavo as a spouse when he's been shacking up with another woman and had two children with her? Just a note for Judge Greer - I had a long day today and was very hungry this evening. I did not enjoy my dinner while Terri was being denied her food. Did you enjoy your dinner, Judge Greer?

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

What woman, or even a man on an opposite side, could accept Michael Schiavo as a spouse when he's been shacking up with another woman and had two children with her?

Exactly. A poster on another thread said that Michael is doing this because he loves and respects Terri so much. I couldn't believe it. How much love and respect can a man have for his wife if he is living with another woman and has fathered two children by her?

[AnalogReigns]

A citizens arrest of a judge. Right. What dreamworld do you live in? It ain't modern America.

[AnalogReigns]

Honestly, when government officials and indeed whole institutions have sunk so low as to murder citizens, its likely blood will (eventually) be spilled to stop them. I hope its not inevitable, but I think my lifetime will see another civil war.

Why are we killing people that are not brain dead. Brain dead means no mental activity? There is plenty of mental activity and movement in Terri.

This is the natural next step in the evolution of an abortion culture.
