    (VANITY) For Open Discussion:Been noticing much more media proclivity to focus in on the big protest signs being carried at Terri's hospice.These signs say a lot in a few words. Because many Americans may focus in on them instead of the story. Busy folks multitasking who have the TV sound down. Folks in a department store or going through an airport terminal or at an auto repair shop waiting room or at a rental car agency, wherever in the heartland of America, this Saturday.The more thinking by all of us about these signs and their potent messages to millions of...
  • Protests Outside Schiavo Hospice Chaotic

    PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) -- Jennifer Johnson, barefoot and in her pajamas, ran to her grandfather's bedside once a hospice worker said his death was moments away. She got there - one minute too late. Johnson said the chaos outside the hospice where Terri Schiavo is dying kept her from saying goodbye. When Johnson arrived, a police officer demanded identification; she had none. And after a hospice employee cleared her, another officer halted her for a search with a metal detector. The delays lasted three to four minutes - the last of her grandfather's life. "It's a terrible, extra obstacle...
  • Terminal Dehydration

    03/25/2005 2:29:23 PM PST · by Ramtek57 · 47 replies · 1,211+ views
    They call it Terminal dehydration, a legal form of euthanasia. Terminal dehydration, the total withdrawal of food and water that hastens death.  Terminal dehydration may be a stressful and excruciating experience for the patient as well as the caregivers because death by terminal dehydration can take as much as to fourteen days. It is an extremely agonizing death and is crueler than physician-assisted suicide. A conscious person would feel it (dehydration) just as you and I would. They will go into seizures. Their skin cracks, their tongue cracks, their lips crack. They may have nosebleeds because of the drying...

    Is it just me, or does it seem exceedingly suspicious to others that the only way for Terri Schiavo to shed even the slightest light on what exactly happened to her in her home that February morning in 1990 is if she could be rehabilitated to some degree – which her husband, the only other person home with her at the time of her "collapse," absolutely forbids in any way, shape, or form?

  • Presidential Pardon Could Neutralize Judge Greer

    Legal experts say that if Florida Gov. Jeb Bush defies state judge George Greer and orders state troopers to rescue Terri Schiavo, he and any other officials who participate in such a move risk a contempt citation from Greer that could put them in jail. But with a powerful ally in the White House, Terri Schiavo's would-be rescuers have nothing to fear from the runaway judge. In 2001, President Clinton pardoned drug dealers, international money launderers - even FALN terrorists, who were spared in a blatant bid to win votes for his wife's Senate campaign. The episode taught a bewildered...

    THE "NO-WATER" CAPITOL HILL GANG Friday, March 25, 2005 Fifty-eight congressmen--including five Republicans--voted to deny the reinsertion of Terry Schiavo’s feeding tube last weekend. Even though their votes condemned a disabled woman to certain death, there was no recorded vote. Meet the No-Water Capitol Hill Gang: Sorry, but to see the 58 mug shots you have to go to 58 congressmen who sentenced Terri Schiavo to death

    A majority of freepers are incredibly upset at activist judges attempting to legislate from the bench. I share these feelings. But in the Schiavo case, did these judges go against any existing laws, or did they do their jobs while being contrained by the actual law? Is it the opinion of many here that activist judges are ok if the outcome is what you want? Maybe we need some new laws established and the judges actually had their hands tied on this one. Please let me know your opinion.

    Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally...

    I returned home last night from Tallahassee, where I helped to lobby the Florida Senate to try to convince them to save Terri. I’ve not been registered at FreeRep for very long, so please try to bear with me as I try to tell you what I saw there. When the vote came up, several Senators pushed for debate. In several very long winded speeches, they argued. It seemed to me that every opponent has pulled a feeding tube on a loved one, and watched them die, and it wasn’t so bad for them, so we should just shut up....

    Congress and the Bush administration could still save Terri Schiavo – if they would simply enforce legal subpoenas that were issued last week demanding that Congress be allowed to interview Terri and others in the controversial matter. Those Congressional subpoenas, however, have been wantonly ignored by a Florida state judge and local authorities in a brazen act.

    March 25, 2005 Myth of 19 Judges and Ignoring the Will of Congress By Thomas Sowell Liberals have repeatedly used the talking point of how many judges have heard the case of Terri Schiavo. But that is as misleading as most of the rest of what they and the mainstream media have been saying. When a case goes up to a higher court on appeal, the issue before the appellate court is not whether they agree with the merits of the decision of the lower court. In a criminal case, for example, the issue before the appellate court is not...

    THE SCHIAVO STAKES: WHAT THE FIGHT'S REALLY ABOUT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 25, 2005 -- THE looming death by starva tion of Terri Schiavo has ex posed yet again the key fault line in American culture. Those who have sided with her parents in seeking the reinsertion of her feeding tube have a view of life that is profoundly different from those who have sided with her husband's quest to have her die. Those who want her to live tend to view life as a gift — a treasure beyond value that has been bestowed upon us and that we therefore have...

    At this writing, Terri Schiavo has been denied food and water for five days. Her fate hangs in the balance, having slipped yet further upon the decision of U.S. District Court Judge James Whittemore, a Clinton appointee, who took his time before refusing to order her feeding tube to be replaced so that she might begin to take nourishment and water once again. Whittemore can pride himself, in keeping with the twisted precepts of the counterculture, not only for assenting to her condemnation, but also for wasting precious time in his premeditated (a word used with full understanding of its...

    The United States Congress and the governor of Florida have devoted extraordinary and all but single-minded energy to keeping Terri Schiavo alive. But all they have achieved so far is a bitter lesson in judicial supremacy. It is a lesson as old as Marbury v. Madison, the 1803 case in which Chief Justice John Marshall famously said that "it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is," and as fresh as Bush v. Gore, the 2000 decision that decided a presidential election. Its latest teachers were Judge George W. Greer, of the...

    Jeb Bush may take Terri Schiavo into state care The war over the fate of Terri Schiavo was entering its final stages today as her parents clung to two slim hopes of preventing their severely brain-damaged daughter from being allowed to die. The 41-year-old has been without food or water for almost seven days, after her feeding tube was removed last Friday on the orders of a Florida state judge. Friends and lawyers say she is showing signs of dehydration - flaky skin, dry tongue and lips, and sunken eyes. Doctors have said she would probably die within a week...

    My position on the Schiavo matter has vascilated back and forth over the past few days as I've agonized over the matter.Should she be given a chance at life? If so, what kind of life are we talking about? Is there a chance at rehabilitation? Is Michael Schiavo an evil S.O.B., or is he simply a heart-broken man?Conversely, is she truly in a vegetative state? A virtual zombie with eyes open, and nothing inside? Are her parents and family in denial about her pain and suffering? Are the evangelicals coming to her aid getting so worked up that they are...
