You are in control, Terri's mistake was not to have one!
I remember reading the judge was elected. Maybe some FReepers voted for him too..

I believe Judge Greer was elected. Like most elected judges, no one has a clue about where they stand on issues, and talking about future cases is ethically prohibited.
I doubt Judge Greer will be reelected.

Good. It's about time!
Don't forget to indict the MSM in this - they've done their best to disinform the world about Terri's condition. In fact, they've done such a good job that many members here even believe them.
If Terri dies - tomorrow - the shock wave that will roll through our political system will be hard to imagine. I'm not overly religious (although a firm believer), and to me the Biblical similarities of this entire mess are hard to discount.
An old Iron Maiden prelude comes to mind: "I am not a number, I am a Free Man", followed by the laughing of the Devil. Welcome to the United States of America, Inc.
Unfortunatly, George Greer was re-elected by the voters of Pinellas County, Florida.
| WHO WILL SPEAK FOR YOU WHEN THE JUDGE DECIDES THAT IT'S YOUR TURN TO DIE? |
"To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men and not more so. They have with others the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps. Their maxim is boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem [good justice is broad jurisdiction], and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves."
—Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:277
Living Wills -or- DYING WILLS??
The name of LIVING WILL is so misleading, like you are making this will to enhance your life!
Instead, the WILL is to tell the doctors what to
do with your nearly-dead body!
The name should reflect the reality of the document so people paid more attention to the details and the horrors of the options they might choose.
DYING WILLS... would be more forthright.
And if you don't have one. They should let you LIVE.
It is about the Right to Kill.
A score of judges, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have confirmed the right to kill Terri Schiavo.
FYI, Greer IS elected.
I've read that the parents have stopped filing appeals. Is that true??

Greer was elected. Never mind that he didn't file for election as outlined in state law nor did he file his oath as prescribed by state law. We are no longer a nation "of the people ....."
With CRYSTAL CLARITY, Terri's case has UNVEILED America's greatest ugliness and weaknesses, countless problems and the broken state of our government.
This is such a sad day. There's not a judge in the country that would sentence a child killer to death by starvation. It's awful.
There are several parallel issues in the Terri Schiavo matter. If you go on the premise there is only one, you will be confused beyond redemption.
Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims and others of religions that value life see the issue of Terri Schiavo being murdered. She clearly did not ask for this death by torture.
Deatheaters see this as a chance to further their agenda of death to the weak and control over the rest of the general population.
Elements of the legal system, judges in particular, see this as a challenge to the current superiority of the legal leg of the country’s governmental tripod, the Executive, the Legistative and the Legal. Notice, no mention of Justice.
Our Declaration of Independence and Constitution guaranty freedom to enjoy LIFE, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Judges have a vested interest in being infallible. One can question the Judge’s procedures, he can be found to make procedural errors, but one cannot question his judgment. The President and Congress, as well as the Governor, have questioned his judgment. That is not allowed and will not be allowed by the court system. It really isn’t relevant that an innocent lady will be tortured to death. You must understand, if we are allowed to question the Judge’s judgment, all heck will break loose. The Judge must be infallible.
Christians are admonished to follow the law, to render unto Caeser that which is Caeser’s and unto God that which is God’s. We follow the law.
Unless the Executive finds its spine, a deatheater Circuit Judge can sentence anyone to death, using a clever “right to die” wording and they are toast. A Circuit Judge is more powerful than the President, Congress or the Governor. AS LONG AS THEY ALLOW IT! Not one second longer.
Understand also, who you associate with can kill you. If you are a Christian, hang with Christians, marry a Christian, ditto Jews, Hindus, etc. Marry a deatheater and you are toast, when they tire of you. They will have you killed for their own happiness.
Warning, do no subject yourself to the court. If you do, they can isolate you and eliminate you at little or no cost to themselves. Fluid Tactics are the only choice.
