making removal of the tube an act in contempt of Congress.

And do you know why there's no pending legal action on this point? Because it holds no water. The Federal Judge ruled that Congress's subpoena did not trump the myriad court rulings on this matter, all 20 of which have have had exactly the same result.

I don't want to see her die. I wish her husband took care of her better than he has. But HE IS HER HUSBAND, and as flawed as he might be, he's still the one who gets to make the final call.

Maybe you should write your congressman and tell them to pass a law that says a husband is the legal guardian of his wife, except in cases where the husband is found guilty of being a louse by the public.

But Mikey didn't make the final call.

Greer did. Greer ordered Terri's feeding tube to be removed on a certain day at a certain time. Greer did not say Mikey could have the tube removed if and when he wanted.

Mikey wasn't even present when the tube was removed [I'll bet that was to avoid culpability -- Why not let the medical people share some of the guilt?]

Think of Mikey as Judas only instead of kissing Terri physically he gave Terri the kiss of death when he gave his sworn testimony about her "wishes" to Greer. (Remember: That testimony contradicted his sworn testimony when he was trying to get malpractice money.)

This is like Murder on the Orient Express --- so many people are involved, that it is hard to pin the blame on any one person. I first noticed the "Orient Express'" similarity, today, when Felos publicly "thanked" the ACLU and some others for helping him with the case.

Watch for Felos to finger more accomplices soon.

1. Michael Sh** Head refused to allow any form of physical therapy.

2. He insisted that she be kept in a dark room with the blinds closed for years.

3. He refused her friends and visitors.

4. He refused to let her have flowers from friends and family.

5. He refused for her to get medical attention for infection.

I could go on and on, but those are just the few I could pull off the top of my head. By your logic, I should be able to neglect my kids, lock them in a dark room, deny them an education and still have all my parental rights. M.S. has abused his role as guardian and should have his position revoked.
