Pardon her from what crime?
pardon her of what crime? Don't you have to comit a crime to be pardoned?
Anybody got the "Oh, no, not this $$$$ again!" JPEG?
I have heard it suggested that she be declared an enemy combatant. Then they would have to take her into custody. Can't be too careful you know. And of course, we would have to respect her rights to food and medical care while she is in custody.
Don't think that will happen either.
A pardon is for convicted felons
Definitely the looniest scheme I've seen so far. Storming the hospice with the National Guard was far more sensible.
Then this thread appeared . . . . . . .
More bombastic ballast helping to sink FR this week.
The courts would just declare it unconstitutional and void anyway.
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.
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.
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.
civil vs criminal.
This is just plain and clear not going to happen.
You might as well demand Jannet Reno be brought back to burn down the hospice and kill everyone inside in order to save them.
Did you think this through before you posted it?
