The courts would just declare it unconstitutional and void anyway.
See post 19.

I don't see how he has the power to do that. Article IV gave Congress the power to order a federal court to review the case, which was fine--but using troops to move a civilian to a military facility?
That is what was done with Elian Gonzalez.
This country was not built by nay-sayers, but by action takers with a strong sense of right and wrong.
I think Terri's condition is contagious. There is no other explanation for the complete loss of rational thinking that has affect so many people on this forum in the past week.
Your posts have been cracking me up this week....
:=D
I understand that. But Bush actually respects the Constitution, idiocies like Campaign Finance Reform notwithstanding.
maybe she has not comitted a crime however; judge greer and anyone executing his order to remove her feeding tube is comitting one or more felonies in that it is a felony to inflict corporal punishment , if more than one person is involved you also have conspiracy. funny how politicians that know this suborn it . what ever happened to no one is above the law.
Emotions are higher on this issue than a lot in recent memory but I wish all those who want to jump on Gov.or Pres.Bush and accuse them of not doing enough to think back 6 years.
What would we have had with Clinton as President?A fake tear,a trembling lower lip and at the first possible moment jumping on the body,like he did after the Oklahoma City bombing,to accuse Republicans of not caring about the women because they did`nt fund xyz program enough or pass Hillarycare.
Nice sentiment, but everybody wants Terri to die. Just witness some of the comments. And all the polls back them up. Governor Greer of Florida has spoken, and when Terri does die, everyone will celebrate because we are still a 'nation of laws'.
Just like Nazi Germany was as they were killing the infirm, the disabled and the most vulnerable members of society.
We're sliding down the slope, picking up speed and most people seem to think that 'everything is just fine'.
It's not. The Constitution is dead.
Actually, I call the slavish daily-devotees to that dumb Let's-worship-the-politician picture thread "picture lickers". I'm sure we've all witnessed the servile slobbering that goes on over there.
And that's just how Karl Rove wants it. Now shut up, pay up and kneel before Our Rulers.
Hey, nice pics on your profile!! I lkke the Wilson one especially!
You obviously didn't see the one where someone suggested that Jeb act against the law, and have his brother pardon him, or maybe you missed the one about Terri converting to Judaism, getting israeli citizenship (dual) and being taken to the Israeli embassy, or maybe you missed the call for the Vatican to use it's diplomatic immunity to spirit her away, then?
;0)
I'm in!
Now, if one actually looked in teh constitution where this power is given, you can see it is for "offenses against teh United States", so....
As soon as you can tell me what offense against the United States that Terri SHiavo has committed and I'll agree with ya.
Why would that be okay for Terri, but not okay for Elian? Double standard?
It was DUmmie-style then, and it's DUmmie-style now.
