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."
I don't care what one's position is, this post is beyond decency. It really turned my stomach.
She sounded spot on to me.
Sorry Cajungirl, but I have no sympathy for people applauding and encouraging evil things like starving innocent people to death as SO9 is doing.
I personally hope SO9 rots in guilt; he is due a lot more than that on the otherside of that ole river, methinks.
Sorry. Dont mean to offend you.
Donuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are choices in this world.
Those are legitimate questions.
The friend wanted Terri to stay with her that night but Terri said "I can handle him".
Why did Judge Greer throw out this testimony?
Because it would get in the way of him killing Terri for the sake of assisting Soros in restructuring Americas 'Culture of Death'? Maybe?
Greer is an evil, conniving hypocrit and it is people like him that make me glad that God is Just.
It's the same in America anymore.
Quite possibly people delay their trips to the more formal parts of the hospital with those annoying stops in the Emergency Room because, ta-da, there are other folks around to watch what the doctors do to you.
He has a new life, with a new family and children. Why wouldn't he be willing to divorce her now?
It makes no sense....
It makes sense if Terri knows something that he wants to put in the grave and to keep it there -nothing else makes sense.
you haven't offended me. The poster did. Agreeing or disagreeing with the poster doesn't bother me as much as that post.
I still believe it's a typical troll tactic. You disrupt the thread, insult, etc. You posted some pretty nasty comments about Terri which I don't think anyone of us who care will forget. You said she should die.
Then as the thread is winding down, you come with your "real life story" to get sympathy?
A woman's life is on the line while you are playing your little games.
Can't imagine how you sleep at night after your antics.
SO9 is a liar who amuses himself by upsetting people with his trolling. He probably enjoys the thought that Terri will starve to death - there really are subhumans like him in the world.
But never forget that God is jsut and SO9 will answer for what he says as God forgets not one word or deed.
God bless you. My Mom died of cancer, too, but at least nobody was trying to hurry up her demise. They tried to make her as comfortable as possible. My Mom was very stoic. I miss her.
SO9 you are too loathesome to argue with and I am going to put your quote on my web page. Thank you for illustrating so well the depths of moral and mental depravity that a person can sink to.
"With all that has happened today, I wonder if God will ever Bless America again....sometimes it seems we don't deserve it."
Even the "best" of us don't deserve anything better than death. God does not pour out blessings based on who earns them from Him. Remembering that is quite humbling.
Good cajungirl. You are among the more sensible people posting on this topic, and I was afraid my directness might lose your indulgence.
I hope you have a pleasant weekend in spite of all the horridness going on.
Remember that God has given us a wonderful life and the ability to fill it with the love and joy of our families.
God bless you.
It is also not true.
Read Deuteronomy chapter 27 and 28 sometime. God definately blesses those who practice righteousness and curses those who paractice evil.
The Word of God is such a wonderous thing.
"God definately blesses those who practice righteousness and curses those who paractice evil."
We do not earn God's gifts. If we did, they would be RIGHTS and not BLESSINGS.
The proper charge(s) are attempted murder and contempt of Congress.
You mean, him and that Judge in Cali who overturned the voice of the voters in rejecting the Gay marriage mombo jombo
And if you go to the voting booth to vote for a liberal democrat your going to be broke or die.
You'd better believe that back in his home at DU there are those who would deal roughly with him should he cross those Liberal lines in the sand.
They have the names and addresses of all their posters, and it's not far fetched to believe they'd track someone down and kill them.
And clearly vice versa!
