I disagree. Thusfar, I've seen at least fifteen "don't leave" posts to you and no "good riddance" posts.
Oh cool!
You figured it out!
Who has the full list?
LC? Howlin'?

That matter you've quoted there, it's breathtakingly evil. Shameful.
A lot more emotion and anger. Today was especially over-the-top, but it was understandable.
I don't think today's the day for it...too much angst, not enough analysis...it's just get lost in the grief and anger.
Not dirt? I doubt it.
"Bad self" to me is dirt!
test bump
The checks and balances system was thoroughly abrogated by the judges in this case.
A situation arose that played out badly in the courts.
Congress (an whether or not it was the right thing for them to do is a moot point) tried to do what it saw as the right thing, passing a bill requiring a fresh hearing in Federal Court.
The President agreeing, signed the bill into law
The Courts disagreeing, insisted on the womans IMMEDIATE death, rather than carry out the direct instruction of the other two branches.
What logical, legal reason could they have had for not following the law?
What are you talking about, Petronski?
Bye now...sw
I am holding up well by staying away from the angriest threads.
I made my peace with the reality. It's like an election when you know you worked hard and did your best, but you know your candidate's going to lose.
I am sorry for the Schindlers, and I am sorry for everyone that this triggers bad memories for, and I am sorry especially, for the families that had loved ones at that hospice during the past two weeks.
Mostly, I'd like FR to get back to equilibrium so I can feel like paving trolls again.
Grants jurisdiction to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida to hear, determine, and render judgment on a suit or claim by or on behalf of Theresa Marie Schiavo (Ms. Schiavo) for the alleged violation of any right of hers under the U.S. Constitution or laws relating to the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life.

Allows suit to be brought against any other person who: (1) was a party to State court proceedings relating to the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain Ms. Schiavo's life; or (2) may act pursuant to a State court order authorizing or directing the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life.

Directs the District Court to entertain and determine the suit without any delay or abstention in favor of State court proceedings, and regardless of whether remedies available in the State courts have been exhausted.
Declares that, notwithstanding any other time limitation, any suit or claim under this Act shall be timely if filed within 30 days after its date of enactment ********************************************
It was the expressed intent of the Congress that this case be heard, and in order to not hear it, the Judges merely refused to issue a stay of Greers death order, which runs counter to the express purpose of this legislation.
Congress expressly granted jurisdiction, granted standing to the Parents, and instructed that the suit SHALL be heard De Novo.
Shall means MUST, not MAY.
LOL
I agree completely.
Tell you what, if I had a dying loved one in that hospice, I'd be very angry at the media circus outside, and about the security checks I'd have to run through to visit.
I'm talking about the quote in 3052, the matter in italics in that post, is evil.
Post the entire bill.
Heads up. You could be busy today.
Those were NOT my italics ("NO") to all the prayers................they were HER'S .
Get real!
That poster "spectre" wrote THAT!
Damn, I'm a decent younzer, she's the one who wrote that!
