Handicapped
Defenseless
Abandoned by her adulterous husband

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay pledged Friday to hold Florida state judge George Greer in contempt of Congress for ignoring a congressional subpoena for Terri Schiavo's testimony, saying, "No little judge sitting in a state district court in Florida is going to usurp the authority of Congress."
"The Congress will pursue this, if we have to hold him in contempt of Congress," DeLay told radio host Sean Hannity.
Pressed on whether he intended to hold Judge Greer in contempt, the top Republican told Hannity: "Absolutely, absolutely."
"We will do everything to enforce the power and authority of the Congress and no little judge sitting in a state district court in Florida is going to usurp the authority of Congress," he added.
Earlier in the day Judge Greer rebuffed the Schiavo subpoena, telling attorneys in the case, "I have had no cogent reason why the [congressional] committee should intervene." He claimed that the last-minute action on the part of Congress does not nullify years of legal proceedings.
But DeLay told Hannity, "This judge and the Supreme Court of Florida are well known to be liberal judges that have a different worldview and they're imposing their worldview on the law."
The top House leader said that "no sane person" could look at Schiavo and say she's in a persistent vegetative state.
DeLay called a lawyer for Michael Schiavo, who has pressed for years to have his wife starved to death, "the personification of evil."
Congress should butt out period, let the courts handle it, but, the courts have on numerous occasions, and come down on the side of the husband. Getting Congress involved is just the opposite of getting the courts to pass legislation.
As the song goes, "Too much talk, and not enuf action." Let's see some action on the part of our Republican leaders!
GOOD.
I'm an atheist, and I find that remark offensive.

Excerpts from Litigation as Spiritual Practice by George Felos
**If she die, the entire Schivo, Greer, and Felios cartel should be charged with first degree murder and tampering with a federal witness.**
I'll second that motion!
Everyone involved is trying to do the least possible to stop this judge. I don't know if they have yet realized that won't be good enough.
As this terrible drama unfolds watch the democrats rally to the judges side, like a dog to its own vomit. This is the value the democrat places on life.
I hear you loud and clear on that one. Satan knows he has but a short time left and he is pulling all the stops out and attacking in any and every which way he can.
Keep your head up for your redemption draweth nigh!
If the Florida courts permit Terri to die, nobody will be charged with murder. You're stretching there.
That sounds sinister, kind of like The Black Hand, the early Mafia.
It's extremely embarrassing. The "hearings" were a sham, and everybody, including Greer, knows it. So, he's going to dare Congress to find him in contempt, which, I predict, DeLay will not do, despite his bluster.
This is a state matter, and the state has run out of options.
Are we going to stand by while Congress goes after every individual situation like this? Is this really what the Legislative Branch is supposed to be involved in?
Look, I wish Michael would divorce this woman and leave her to her parents. But Florida law is clear on the matter, as this has been adjudicated for the last seven years.
This is not going to go the way we want it to.
"Good for Felay. But dont waste time!!!! Send the F##king marshalls NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Exactly what I thought too.
Hold Greer in contempt of Congress while Terri slowly and painfully dies?
Send the marshalls now, Mr President, before the people take matters into their own hands.
I think his name is either Felon or Felos.
Its high time these Liberal "State Rights" types learn the Federal Government runs the show.
That's a good point. Where are the feminazis?
"W" can have only one answer to this jerk.
When this woman dies, will the dems be at the funeral and be mugging for the cameras. We must all remember, they are moral too.
