Law is ancillary to justice, not vice versa. Intentionally taking the life of an innocent person is always and everywhere unjust, and any law or judicial ruling that intends such an injustice is a nullity. Invoking "the law" to support the death by starvation of an innocent person is perverse.
To: Bommer
"That was an abuse of power that had this board in an uprage! Is it OK to use it now? "
Isn't it an abuse of power to allow someone to starve to death? I'm not for marching in there and taking her out by force, just pointing out that it has been done in the past and the left hasn't blinked an eye over it.

"I believe Terri should be saved, but not by a police state!"
Maybe I should have put [tongue in cheek] when I made my previous comment about Clinton and Elian Gonzalez. I'm not for taking her out by force, but unfortunately, down the road, we may eventually have to resort to force, to bring the judicial system back into line. It certainly doesn't have our best interests at heart in this day and age.

I guess I should have put a [tongue in cheek] notice or a sarcasm note to my comment about Clinton and Elian. I simply meant to point out that using force is acceptable when it's a Dem doing it.

Billbears, I'm not throwing any more pearls before swine. The fine points obviously are going way past you.

pearls before swineOh good, now I'm swine. That's the newest one in the book. Thanks I'm keeping a list of all the names I've been called about this. There are no 'finer points'. The fact is that the Constitution of these United States does not give this power in any way, shape, or form to the national government. The power for this and the other actions you listed lay at the state level and nowhere else.
But it looks as if Jeb Bush may intervene. Funny, he could have done that from the get go and not involved serious Constitutional issues. If that's the will of the people of the state of Florida, that's their business and the business of no one outside of the state.

Thanks -- just heard that the pusillanimous FL Senate caved and left Jeb hanging in the wind . . . some allies, huh?? So Jeb is the only hope. Listening to Hannity. Will call the FL Gov office. Thx!

that is my view also; removal of life support is to be a remedy only in terminal cases, in the terminal stages. Food/hydration would not be removed even then, unless they were useless (i.e. the person's body could no longer physically make use of them) and unnecessarily burdensome to the dying person.

That sort of action would not make us a police state. Executive authority in these situations is clear. Just as a governor or the President (Executives) can commute sentences and grant reprieves if they believe there has been a miscarriage of justice, so they step in to PRESERVE life. Both Executors have enough evidence that there may have been a miscarriage of justices (misdiagnosis of Terri's condition and denial of relevant evidence and testimony from Michael Shiavo's opponents).

You're absolutely correct. And that some posters on these threads are unable to define morally the difference between forced intervention to preserve life and all its attendant rights and trampling individual rights proves the effectiveness that the moral relativism of the '60s counter-culture has had.
In the lack of evidence, no judgment is to be made. Greer is an activist judge who denied evidence and who weighed evidence that has since come into question (misdiagnosis of her condition) in order to push his agenda. This is a miscarriage of justice and the Executives are correct to preserve Terri's life. If for not other reason to guarantee her safety so that the case can be properly decided.

Thanks, Ghost.
I hope and pray that Jeb Bush ONLY went to the Hitlerian Greer again with the Family Services case, was to give him a chance to save face. No he is a bitter activist to the end.

Ann is just plain wrong. Elian and Little Rock are examples of enforcing court orders. What your talking about it breaking a court order via force. The two are polar opposites.
