She, essentially, is being treated as property, and is being (mis)handled by a county probate judge.
And now, they are "administering MORPHINE" to a woman they assert can feel no pain!
The morphine will now be the mechanism of her death!
Because Greer presides over a Probate Court.
Vox Day says:
If you insist on clinging to the political fiction of a Democratic-Republican dichotomy, you will find the next twenty years as mystifying as the last twenty. If, on the other hand, you understand that beneath the fiction is an orchestrated effort to transform a theoretically decentralized constitutional republic into a fully centralized member of a supranational oligarchy, everything not only makes perfect sense, but becomes quite predictable. Thus, I can confidently predict:
1. uniform state euthanasia laws
2. a ban on home-schooling, probably federal
3. a political union with Canada and Mexico
4. an elimination of the right to trial by jury
5. elimination of the separation of powers doctrine (this is already effective, but not apparent)
6. a ban on all political speech by unapproved parties (already in the works)
7. emigration restrictions
8. legally recognized polyamorous relationships
9. a global tax to fund a UN military

"But when there's a need to find an emanation or penumbra to kill an unborn child, well, the unelected nine-man American Commission can always find the time for judicial review. Mrs. Schiavo never stood a chance, you see, because demographics require killing off a lot more elderly people in the next thirty years."
If Terri was a serial killer-
Greer would have never allowed it.
Face it. We're living in a culture that revels in the death of the innocent and defends the lives of the guilty.
Lord, have mercy on us.
What amazes me is that swamp judge won't allow Terri to have legal representaion. Her two timing evil husband has an attorney from the Hemlock Society. Her family has representation for their own interests. But Terri has no one. Terri has no one. Terri has no one. Terri has no one and not even Jeb or W care.
Why no jury?
There has been no jury because the cases that have been filed on Terri's behalf have sought equitable relief, rather than legal relief. The distinction between "legal" and "equitable" relief is an important aspect of the American legal system. The right of jury trial in civil cases is guaranteed by the Seventh Amendment of the Constitution, but only in cases that traditionally would have been handled by the law courts at Common Law. The question of whether a case should be determined by a jury depends largely on the type of relief the plaintiff requests. If a plaintiff requests damages in the form of money or certain other forms of relief, such as the return of a specific item of property, the remedy is considered legal, and the American Constitution guarantees a right to a trial by jury. On the other hand, if the plaintiff requests an injunction, declaratory judgment, specific performance or modification of contract, or other non-monetary relief, the claim would usually be one in equity. Since equitable relief has been sought on behalf of Terri, i.e. temporary restraing orders, temporary injunctions, and the like, the relief she has sought is equitable in nature and hence she is not entitled to a jury. If, on the other hand, she sought monetary damages, for example, if she filed an action against her husband for causing her condition, she would be seeking legal relief and hence would be entitled to a jury.
As to whether she has her own attorney, she theoretically does. She is represented by her guardian ad litem, her husband, who has been appointed by the court to represent her. His attorney is thus in effect her attorney. Should he have been appointed to be her guardian ad litem. That is the crux of the case and the answer is of course "no". He has a huge conflict of interest. The guardain ad litem (GAL) is supposed to be a neutral party. He cannot be neutral with a girlfriend of ten years by whom he has two children. He has an interest in seeing her die so he can remarry. A divorce would have been bad publicity. Hopefully he will get his due, maybe an investigation for murder which leads to an indictment. Never forget - what goes around comes around.
Judge Greer is now the Governor of Florida and the President of the United States at the same time. Wow - I hadn't realized how powerful satan was before this.
The Court Cittters (no relation to Free Republic's own Critter) Just could not find 12 people even close to as evil and inhumane and nasty as themselves, whom they could trust to bring in the death sentence, they lusted for.
