Right at this point in time it's the bloody judges and the courts ("The System") that has condemned an innocent women to death by a cruel and barbaric method.
"The System" is serving the people?
Where were these people when the federal government ended segregation -- on the side of the southern Governors I presume since it was a State's Rights issue? (saracasm)
"...that a real god unknown to you won't punish you for following a false deity?..."
Such a diety would not decieve people by using a humble man who rode a donkey into a city and who spoke in such parables. But you would have to have logic and a heart to understand that.
My odds are still better than yours. You're sure to burn in hell if you follow no God.
What was ordered was the honoring of Teri's wish to not be artificially maintained. That wish was testified to, under oath, by 3 people (see the court records).
When an abomination occurs in the country, the brave and the free don't just stand there mesmerized bowing to abstract legal principles -- they attack the abomination.
Yes, there was an abomination. When someone expresses the desire to NOT be artificially maintained and that wish is ignored for 15 YEARS, that is indeed an abomination. Try imagining what it would be like to be encased in a glass coffin, unable to move on your own, dependent upon others to perform all of your basic hygiene requirements, etc. for 15 years. There are not many tortures more gruesome than that.
Well if you don't believe it, what rational basis could there be for your choice to not believe?
Uh....YES!
As far as I'm concerned, your types are just statists who have different motivations for jackbooting than the Marxists.
What are you bitching at me for? I'm a creation, the other believes he/she is the blob of inbred elements. Sheesh!
The woman has a substantive due process righ to life pursuant to the 14th Amendment. That is a federal issue. The Schindler's lawyers failed to raise this argument on Monday and now Terri's fate is in the hands of Justice Kenendy.
However, there are greater laws and principles than our Constitution. We all have an inherent right to life, and natural law vests us with the liberty to determine our own fate. At some point, if Terri Schiavo is to live purusant to these natural and inherent rights, extra consitutional measures become necessary. I support the executive branch taking such measures based on these natural law principles.
If you disagree, that is your right but be aware that the Constituiton as interpreted by the judiciary is now the final arbiter of your right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Nutrition was not "artificial maintenance" when she allegedly made the statements. You can't morph the law defining that term, read it into a prior statement, and call it justice.
She was in various states of consciousness over those "15 years" including a few moments of perfect lucidity when she could have asked to end it all but didn't.
Most are the same lunatics that want pot legalized and have a deep-seated hatred for the federal government because it enforces federal drug laws and funds an agency called the (DEA) Drug Enforcement Agency.
ROTFLMAO -I am easily amused...
Not bitching, I was just copying you on my post to him.
I agree with you.
Imagine a Clinton appointee in charge of your feeding tube! You'd be a goner, even if your ailment was gas and that feeding tube was really just your belt buckle!!
When it's legal to abort the less that perfect adult because someone else demands it, this country is in big trouble!
Exactly! Getting more obvious by the day on some of these people that don't value life.
Are you a lawyer? If so, what do you think the burden has been on the parent's lawyer(s). I'm certain these guys will never get paid and yet here you have one firm running from DC to Tampa to Talahasse to Atlanta filing appeals, lobbying congress, the state capitol, etc. Incredible.
Only Governor Bush can save Terri at this time.

You really start to worry when you see next to the treatment box on your chart the words "Vince Foster".
