Father, give him boldness and the wisdom he needs to make the right decision. Not the left decision.

In Jesus Name!

Amen and Amen

Amen!

Lawyers to Jeb Bush: You Have the Power to Save Terri Schiavo

Terri Schiavo's crime? Being an inconvenient woman. Her sentence? Death. The method of execution? Slow, agonizing starvation and dehydration.

But Florida Gov. Jeb Bush can give her a reprieve, activists say.


Responding to his question about whether he has the authority to help save Mrs. Schiavo, now in the second day of being starved to death by court order, four top attorneys say he has all the legal authority he needs to intercede.

Not only does he have the power, wrote ***Troy Titus****, a Chesapeake, Va., attorney but he "has a constitutional duty to prevent any action taken pursuant to [Judge George Greer's order] because such action would violate Ms. Schindler-Schiavo’s constitutionally guaranteed "inalienable right to enjoy and defend life” regardless of her "physical disability” as secured by Article I, Section 2 of Florida's Constitution.

****Richard Thomson****, president and chief counsel of the Thomas Moore Law Center, echoed Titus. Moreover, Thompson, who has more than two decades of experience in law enforcement, was joined by former federal prosecutors Edward White and Robert Muise in advising the governor that he has "sufficient evidence" to "conduct a formal criminal investigation" into the Schiavo case.

Coral Gables, Fla., lawyer ****John B. Thompson**** told the governor "you have the power, by the mere stroke of a pen, to prohibit what is, in every sense, the execution of Terri Schiavo by a means that is both cruel and unusual in violation of Article I, Section 17 of the Florida Constitution and the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution."

Finally, lawyer ****Brian Fahling**** wrote: "The brief filed by the Governor in the Middle District of Florida sets forth significant reasons to believe that Section 782.02 is being violated because Terri’s right to life is violated by the state when the state, acting as her guardian, assumes that her wish to live without artificial sustenance is the same as a wish not to be fed at all. The state has an ‘unqualified’ interest in life.” Moreover, Terri is being denied oral sustenance, which creates "an unnecessary conflict with Florida Statutory law by implying that physicians may cooperate with a person’s alleged express wish not to feed herself ....” A denial of Terri’s right to life under these circumstances, it appears, results in a violation of Section 782.08. All the documents can be accessed at www.terrisfight.org.

"Legal experts from around the country agree that Governor Bush has the authority to save Terri Schindler-Schiavo's life. We know he has the power, the question is: Does he have the political will?" said Randall Terry, president of the Society for Truth and Justice.

Gov. Bush said Wednesday that he was instructing his legal staff to find a way to block the court order allowing Mrs. Schiavo to be starved.

Mrs. Schiavo's parents and other supporters continued to hold a vigil today outside Woodside Hospice, 6774 102nd Avenue N., Pinellas Park.

"it's just what i've read and seen on the news"

One of the major problems of this case. Inaccurate and incomplete reporting of the facts. I can understand you and your wife not wanting to live that way (although bear in mind, since you never have, you may change your mind should you actually BE in that situation), but what most people don't understand is that her husband cut off all therapy and even basic care, once he received over a million dollars in a malpractice lawsuit. The money awarded in this suit was supposed to be used for Terri's care and rehabilitation. Not only did he not use ANY of this money for that purpose, he instead used a lot of it to pay his lawyers. The fact is, many doctors believe that Terri is a good candidate for therapy that would greatly improve her condition, but her husband won't allow it. Don't you believe that she should at least be allowed the chance to improve?

Bush know that we found the loophole he wanted to save Terri's life, we URGED him to move SWIFTLY... all the pages were faxed to his legal team at the same time and we are waiting for word from him, which I believe should come at anytime!!!! I have MORE URGENT NEWS... BUT for right now, PLEEEEASE PRAY FOR TERRI!!! I am in constant contact with the whole family and they have a beautiful message for all of you... do you realise what your emails, faxes and called did?????? I don't think that you do....

May I suggest that we ignore all DISRUPTORS.

There is precious little time to be drawn into useless arguments with disruptors who love to ask baited questions aimed at getting a rise out of Terri's supporters.

I've been seeing this all day long on the various threads.

If they just now have learned about Terri, let them educate themselves first.
We don't have time anymore to answer their asinine objections.

Understood, but I don't know what she wants. I would not want to be kept alive under certain circumstances.

I know what I'd want. For one thing, all we have is the word of the husband that wants her dead that she ever made such a statement. Next, she is NOT a vegetable, she is severely disabled. It is easy to see that. I would NOT want to be terminated without any attempt to rehabilitate me. In fact, I don't trust anyone to make the decision that my life is not living for me. You just keep the food and water coming until I stop breathing, and I'll do the same for you, unless you put it in writing.

Jack Thompson

Anyone who cites ol' Jack as some sort of ace legal authority has obviously not been around FR long enough.

Let's hope that Terri will be rescued by Jeb before tomorrow. I think he owes it to Terri, etc. not to let her
be tortured anymore and not to be complicit in her murder. Otherwise I am planning to be on the scene tomorrow night as I am a couple hours away and have a day job.
