What should the President do about Schiavo? (legally/vanity)
self | today | me

Posted on 03/26/2005 7:45:25 AM PST by dufekin

Judge George Greer, the Supreme Law in the State of Florida, has removed all of the abilities of Governor Jeb Bush to save Terri Schiavo. I don't know that anyone could save her at this point; a week of dehydration may have done irreversible damage. Still, we must try.

The Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, states,

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Congress is so lethargic and dominated by pro-death Democrats that it surely will not exercise its power in a reasonable time, and its last attempt ended in failure. Contrary to the orders of Judge Greer, Terri Schiavo is not (medically) a xerophyte who can wait until next year for some water. She desperately needs water today.

Florida is bound by the Fourteenth Amendment, and the federal government required the state to accept this article to regain its status as a state after the American Civil War. The State's obvious flouting of its obilgations under the Fourteenth Amendment should rescind the provisions of the Compromise of 1877 that lifted the federal military occupation of Florida during the Reconstruction after the Civil War.

The Congress should have exercised its delegated (Article I, Section 8) power "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions." Moreover, "The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States" (Article II, Section 2). The President also swore or affirmed that he would "to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" (Article II, Section 1).

These powers should allow President Bush to declare a judicial insurrection in Florida, and thereby to call forth both the Florida National Guard and any regular troops in the vicinity to suppress this insurrection.

Suppressing this insurrection must involve--at minimum--rescuing Terri Schiavo and airlifting her to a military hospital in another state. The troops also must hunt down Judge George Greer, Attorney George Felos, and adulterer Michael Schiavo, the triumvirate who started this incurrection.

Alternatively, the President could use the José Padilla precedent to declare Terri Schiavo an enemy combatant. While this action would remove the jurisdiction of the Courts over Terri Schiavo and remove her abusive husband from the equation, it might set the Padilla problems on even more shaky grounds, and I do not advise it.

'...nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws..."

In college, our nation's leaders are taught to obey these black robed demons. It's a form of worship, and they don't even realise it.

Terri Bleeding From Eyes and Mouth !!!!!!!!!!!

The president is sworn to uphold the Constitution. I'm tired of "CAN'T, CAN'T." I heard so much of it I thought it was going to take widespread lawbreaking to restore our most basic right. But best I can tell, you are correct. THE EXECUTIVES: Bush and Bush, DO have the power, and the DUTY to save her.

Here is an email address to him

president@whitehouse.gov

However, just like the 1-800 numbers to the White House, you only get a staffer. Still, enough calls and emails come in, they have to filter up to him.

The problem is that the President's brother is responsible for the problem.

I don't think he's going to make him look bad.

Id get Delay to enforce the congressional subpoena of Terri for Monday. That trumps any Judge Greer ruling.

Prior to the Civil War, slaves were tortured legally. I thought the Civil War brought an end to torture. There is clear evidence that she may be semi-conscious. TORTURE IS NOT ALLOWED! LYNCHINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED! THIS... IS NOT ALLOWED!

It doesn't get any clearer than this, does it? Of course, the death worshipping demigods will say that Terri has had due process.

Is failure to abide by the Constitution grounds for impeachment? /rhetorical question.

"I don't think he's going to make him look bad."

I agree this is a factor. SHE IS BLEEDING from her EYES AND MOUTH! THIS MUST STOP!

It's OBVIOUS. He should send in federal marshalls.

Unfortunately, George Bush is both a coward and too intellectually shallow to stand up to his advisors. We shouldn't be asking for George Bush's phone number. We shoud be asking for Mr. Rove's phone #.

I'm tired of the lunacy around here. Just start writing your diatribe blaming the Bush brothers. Dubya has already said that the federal efforts are exhausted and he doesn't lie.

It's over.

Don't you know that the courts have declared their independence?

The final and explicit break came just a few weeks ago when the Supreme Court legislated from the bench that, because foreign countries were thinking less of us than they would if we were a more "enlightened" society, along the lines of, say France or Denmark, that it would henceforth be unconstitutional to execute individuals who commmitted capital crimes before turning 18.

The point is that it is the courts alone that rule whether they have followed "due process". And in the Terri Schiavo case, they are very clear and of one voice that indeed Terri Schiavo is losing her life in full conformance with the due process clause.

Do I agree? Well, the courts don't really care what I think. Or what you think.

And there are seemingly a majority or a near majority in this country who believe so completely in the "rule of law" that they can't seem to distinguish the rule of law from from the "rule of judges".

As a nation we are in deep trouble until we can start a real good housecleaning of activist judges. And to do that we need legislatures willing to step up and reassert their authority over law making.

The due process of the law has been followed. However, no one has investigated the worthiness of the lawmakers and only now are conflicts of interest being uncovered and exposed, such as cash contributions by George Felos and the FLA DFS attorney to Judge Greer. If Terri was a drug dealer, a traitor, a failed assassin, or a condemned killer, she could receive sanctuary from the Courts by a commutation, or an Executive Pardon.

What I want to know is: WHEN IS THE CONGRESS GOING TO CITE JUDGE GREER FOR CONTEMPT

AND

WHEN IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT GOING TO ISSUE ARREST WARRANTS TO THE FEDERAL JUDGES FOR VIOLATING THE LAW PASSED BY CONGRESS AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT ON MARCH 19, 2005

The Supreme Court has spoken. It is time for us peasants to go back to our hovels.

"Of course, the death worshipping demigods will say that Terri has had due process."

Absolutely right. And there was no clean-slate investigation. That power was granted with the assumption that judges would fulfill their oaths. They failed to. Therefore, an innocent woman is slowly being tortured to death, unless all the unheard witnesses and evidence is part of a vast conspiracy-- hard to believe! THESE JUDGES ARE TIN FOIL CONSPIRACY THEORISTS WORTHY OF THE SCI FI CHANNEL! Only Greer knows the truth, right? Everyone is 'conspiring against him'.

Maybe we should appeal to the Privy Council of Jamaica, ore the United Nations. That might get the Courts' attention.

He has already said he can't which means he won't.

He won't keep his oath to uphold the constutution?

I have lost respect for both he and W Bush.

Makes me sick!
