Doc Frist.......... oooh, he sends stark fear into anyone.

[Samurai_Jack]

Empty Threat

[beyond the sea]

"Anyone who violates this law is subject to criminal fines and imprisonment," Frist said.

Strange that the judge has never bothered to see go this girl.

Frist, tell the jerk judge to go see her before his supposed imprisonment.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

I've heard on the tube that the US Attorney for the district in question has the prerogative, and that he declined to take action......

[JusPasenThru]

Remember what all the lawyers say. Doctors are trained killers.

[nmh]

By the time March 28th rolls around she'll be dead.

They need to DO something BEFORE March 28th.

Otherwise these are ALL empty threats.

What is being done to re-direct the mis-directed US District Attorney who, thus far, has refused to enforce the Congressional Subpoena?

[Gondring]

"No little judge sitting in a state district court in Florida is going to usurp the authority of Congress," he complained.

Yep. The Constitution is dead.

[MisterRepublican]

Ok, Republicans, appreciate the strong rhetoric. Time to ACT!

[dwilli]

Federal law also prevents the congress from
usurping state's rights for political purposes.

[gopwinsin04]

Send the US Marshals to jail Greer if he does not comply.

[Citizen Soldier]

In the meantime the patient is dying.........

[TMSuchman]

He is like a typical pol. all talk NO ACTION! If they weree serious they would send in the US Marshals to proect Terri! They have NO GUTS & NO GLORY!

[Enterprise]

Don't threaten. Send in the Marshalls, get her out of there, and uh, bring the judge along as long as you're there.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Frist has lost his mind. No wonder he's ineffectual as a politician.

[goldstategop]

LOL! I'd like to see Judge Greer be tarred, feathered and then burned at the stake. After he shows up at the hearings to explain his contempt for a valid and lawful congressional order as well as his haste to have Terri ordered murdered before any one could intervene on her behalf.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[Real Cynic No More]

"Provided that Congress is making legitimate investigations for making law, they have the power to seek evidence."

Well, Felos said yesterday in his emotional raving rant, that Congress did not have the authority. Perhaps he should get himself some legal representation and advice as well.

[MizSterious]

Good statement. Now, Dr. Frist, please back it up with some action. (And yes, I think the judge would look just dandy in prison orange.)

[the invisib1e hand]

Oh, but PLEAAAAASE let the good judge spend a few days and nights in RAEFORD, catching up with old acquaintences. YES!!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

thinking to myself out loud....

What did (then) Atty Genl Reno do about it this?

[AZFolks]

I am sorry but I do not approve of the TACTICS being used "by our side" to keep Terry from having her tube pulled. I am accoustomed to the left doing these things when they feel passionate but not us. I read a column in National Review that Terry never had a CT scan or MRI. I have seen the MRI so unless someone was lying and it is not hers, it exists. It is absolutely awful looking! I heard her husband is only interested in the malpractice settlement. I understand that the money is gone. Terry is being supported on Medicaid, not by her parents. I heard her family are devout Catholics but I understand they are Jewish. Frist says he can question the diagnosis from a picture. I wish most of us Docs could do that! THIS IN NO WAY IS AN ARGUMENT FOR OR AGAINST THE REMOVAL OF THE FEEDING TUBE but rather an argumenbt for not mimicking the tactics of the left because we believe strongly in something. Lets have the debate where it belongs, on the moral question, not on non truths.
