suicide? No, it's assisted murder. Even Kevorkian got his victims' death wishes recorded on tape. Where proof of Terri's death wish?

Excellent analysis. Are you an attorney?

Good points! Your legal arguments make a clear case for a Grand Jury to find that Michael Schiavo and judge Greer are committing serious felonies. Even though they may not be arrested for murder, everyone involved from the Judge to the hospice to lawyers siding with them are in a conspiracy to commit the crime of assisted suicide.

Under Florida law, Jeb Bush has a positive duty to order steps be taken immediately to arrest all of them by and through the offices Attorney General. Today! Not tomorrow.

But the governor of florida will not act. He is hoping that these issues will slink quietly away after Terri dies.

Good argument. However, without taking the time to research Florida law, my recollection is that in 1999, Florida law was amended so that giving food and water IS "extraordinary" rather than normal and natural.

One of the legislators who sponsored this law is also on the Board of Directors for the "hospice" where Terri presently lives, and was living at the time.

The judge may only rule on questions of fact and law relating to these provisions. He may not write new law

Ya think??

This is a perfect time for a Chief Ex with a pair to call the judge's hand. By their inaction, the Bush brothers are saying that the judge may, indeed, legislate; or is not bound by duly passed existing legislation.

IOW, leave it to the outlaws to tell us what is what.

No, it's legal murder. The problem is, the Florida legislature pass the law that is allowing this. I'm sure that at the time, they didn't understand what they were doing. That is frequently the case for lawmakers who tend to sign onto bills without reading or understanding what they mean.
