It seems to me that attempted murder is a valid justification for intervention. I'd send in the cops and arrest the parties responsible, right now--then let the perps take their chances in the courts.

Let's vote with our wallets also. A state that allows a small boy to be deported to Cuba and a disabled adult to be starved to death is too scary. In my opinion this state has joined the ranks of France and Germany and I don't need to help them to continue to perpetrate these atrocities. Let the businesses put pressure on the elected officials to overturn senseless laws and impeach judges.

Your observation is made all the more cogent when one reads the amicus brief the governor filed on Terri's behalf in the federal court, Judge Lazzara, the federal court that claimed no jurisdiction. Between Judge Lazzara passing the buck to avoid a controversial case, and judge'kill'um'Greer issuing orders to allow Michael to execute his inconveinet wife, the governor's calim that Terri's Constitutional rights were being violated coupled with his abject refusal to act to protect those rights ... well, this is one bush that needs to be yanked out of the 'ground' and tossed aside, in favor of 'planting' an alive shrub of some other name.

Jeb Bush sounds like the Clinton Administration when they whimpered that there was no "legal basis" to hold Osama Bin Laddin.

I agree about the boycott and called Jeb's office to tell them just that. I couldn't, in good conscious, ever spend another dime in a state that has just sentenced a woman to her own private Auschwitz.

It's not just about her feeding tube. They have her barricaded in that hospice. And no one may bring food or water into that room, by order of the judge. The judge himself said "I don't want anyone feeding that woman!"
What a depraved state we have come to! The religious leaders, the political leaders, the business leaders, and the social leaders of Florida and this country remain largely silent. The media, when they say anything, push the lie that she is comatose and that it is a great tragedy. They don't tell the people that she has NEVER, NEVER been given the opportunity to communicate with a chalkboard or letters. She has not been able to eat or drink with a spoon because of legal maneuverings.
We are not so different from Nazi Germany. Hitler was killing all the weak and infirm and a whole class of people and those that opposed him. It has taken the US 30 years, so far, to accomplish what Hitler did in a short time. But we are marching right along that path. We started with the weak. Now we are attacking the infirm. According to what I have read in the last week, this is a widespread phenomena. Very routine in some hospitals. Which class of people do you imagine will be targeted for extermination in this great and horrible plan of destruction a few years hence?
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
The Republican governor's caution over the legal technicalities of the case stands in marked contrast to the actions of Democrats, who often take a shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later approach when an issue of importance hangs in the balance. So basically the NewsMax writer wants Jeb to behave the same way we complain about Democrats.

I concur.
If it were not for the death threats and threats of all kinds, this mess would be amusing.
Unfortunately, it is very telling of the nature of some advocates here on FR.

If only we could change her name to Mumia Abu-Jamal -- her feeding tube would be back in place in less than an hour.

That is fine. I 'll say it again.
No justice ,no peace.

"conservative or not" According the Thomas Moore Law Center and .. oh about 3 million people , remember it is for the people , by the people... he is not doing everything within his power. We'll see. Flame away bud. A life is about to be save and justice is about to be served. Stand clear please.

What are you angry about?
That a woman's life is about to be saved and justice served? What has you so worked up anyway.. Thomas Moore Law Center is conservative as the day is long. Or do you think you are smarter than they are. Ohh.. it must be horrible to think that a starving woman may be fed.
Yoiu must be beside your self that the people spoke and it sounds like the politicans are going to listen. Darn that old Republic America.

Why is this case only being talked about on the few conservative threads? Do you really want an answer, or is that just a rhetorical question?
Right now, the liberal and middle parts of the spectrum see a woman who has been in a vegatative state for more than a dozen years. They imagine the difficulty this puts on her loved ones, and wish to see the suffering of all concerned ended. When I saw pictures of Ms. Schiavo, I told my wife, right in front of her mother and her daughter, "If I ever get half that brain dead, pull my plug." I guess I need to find a way to put that in writing. Of course, at the age of 47, I feel that need more acutely than I did when I was in my twenties.
Some people on these Schiavo threads have suggested ulterior motives for the husband wishing to end his wife's vegetative state. Those suspicions have not translated into hard evidence that might well have been picked up by the news media. Everybody can understand why Scott Peterson might have wanted to off his wife, but its harder to believe that a super-selfish person would set themselves up for thirteen years of hospital hell just for a few bucks, or an affair.
Disagree with me if you want, but that's my answer to your question.
To: JohnnyZ
Guess it needs to be said again then.
No justice for Terri, no votes for Jeb 2008
It's a simple concept and no he's NOT doing everything he can within the law. If he was any kind of man he would realize that Moral authority outweighs ANY kind of Legal Authority and with the power of the State Police behind him he COULD have that room occupied and the woman's life saved.
Obviously he does not have the backbone to do this.
