I really don't get this whole thing.

The courts are just standing by and allowing this woman to starve to death. And the medical diagnoses are mixed; if they were unanimous that she would never recover, that'd be one thing.

They don't.

The whole thing is very strange. The web site devoted to Teri has a lot of info that is very compelling and her husband - I heard him on the local radio - is not believeable at all.

Folks are just ascairt of judges, I guess. Even Conservatives run to them for salvation. When the Pres. election was thrown into turmoil in FL, the conservatives ought to have dealt with the State Legislature which wrote the campaign laws but they sang to the Fed. Supremes instead. (So much for conservatives & federalism)

Bush could help reorient folks attitude towards executive authority on the state level - and call into question the authority of the supremes on the Fed level - were he to have the courage to act. IMO, he has Pres-ambitions and he likely reasons the media in FL, largely liberal, will let this issue slide (Palm Beach Post hasn't covered it at all) whereas if he intervenes as a matter of principal and executive power there will be a firestorm to face. Liberals worship the Courts and Bush will bow to their idols if it gets him further down the road towards his goal. Who knows? I do know 1000's of us in Florida have petitioned the Bishop's Conference down here and they are silent. Collectively they only speak to petition for mercy when it involves death penalty.

Yes, and let's don't forget that the doctor who testified for the husband's attorney has been found to actually have previous connections with that attorney. A freeper found that out, actually, as far as I know.
