I grieve for Florida.
Right. When it comes to a husband murdering his wife, what possible reason could the state have to intervene?
That settles it for me, too.
Don't forget O.J.
But the Governor should be in charge of Steroids in Baseball? Come on now!
The Govt. must protect it's citizens. Even if from their own family.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident...that [citizens] are endowed with certain inalienable rights...that among those rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
What the Florida government allowed was dispicable. Neal Boortz and his ilk can kiss my ass.
I don't think so.
which is why Terri was allowed to die. She didn't want to live like that (or so the courts found).
Hearsay testimony from a "husband" who had an interest in seeing her dead.
"Sorry, Charlie" but you just lost my vote.
If I lived in Fl I would not vote for this man either!
I was thinking about Terri the other day, and the shame on our society that the powers that be allowed her to be dehydrated to death while her family who wanted custody of her to care for her had to stand helplessly by.
Michael Schiavo, the vampire and nutcase Felos, and Greer are evil scum.
I may really never recover from Terri's murder. It truly sealed the myth of judicial fairness for me for good, for one thing. And it astonished me to discover that people I thought valued life -- conservative members of Free Republic -- were cheering this cold-blooded murder on with glee.
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, (except Terri Schiavo) liberty,(except Terri Schiavo) or property(except Terri Schiavo), without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I think that in that case that she should have been left alive. The courts did not agree, and I accept the verdict.
The case was in court for years. Terri had plenty of due process.
I don't recall anyone doing that.
She was denied the opportunity to even APPEAR in court.
Hmmm...where was Charlie Crist when an innocent woman was being dehydrated to death in his jurisdiction, in direct contradiction to Article One, Section Two of the Florida constitution?
Did he or did he not take an oath to uphold the constitution, including Article One, Section Two?
Must have had his head up some judge's butt, so he couldn't see or hear a thing...
God help us when elected officials of all three branches of government AND ordinary folks won't read and interpret the clear simple language of our foundational documents.
Charlie Crist ain't fit to be dogcatcher. If he'll treat a handicapped citizen this way, how would he treat the dogs??
