Fox News

Just heard on Fox that U.S. Senate will convene today in emergency session regarding Terri Schiavo.

If the Supremes say "No" they should be impeached and removed from office. Their judicial tyranny approaches the perfidies approach those of the British under King George III.

[Theodore R.]

Small evils harden the heart, making greater evil easier, more routine, less chilling. We marvel at the hideousness of the final act, but the descent to depravity is a gentle slope downwards.

Absolutely TRUE TRUE!

There was a post I saw just as I was getting ready to leave tonight that said something about Levin's opinion in this matter.

Maybe a search will find it. I'll do a quick one.

"And in the UK, a doctor has performed a late-term abortion based on the diagnosis that the child was afflicted with a "serious disability"...which happened to be a cleft-palate.
From Drudge: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1439312,00.html
Shall we euthanize our Alzheimer's patients, those who suffer from any degenerative disease? When is too early in the process? If I could determine that my child carried a genetic predisposition that would render him "handicapped" in our culture, should I abort? What if, instead of a cleft-palate or a degenerative disease I decided that being gay would handicap that child?"

Yes, I read about this - cleft-palate.

yes, Alzheimer's could be another candidate for medical murder. It's scary because the slippery slope will happen just as it has with abortion - that too was supposed to be rare - forget the fact that you are murdering an unborn person or one about to be born.

Ah, but with the "gay" community (LOL) they've already determined that it will have a "gay" gene and that a law needs to be in place that NO abortion can happen there. There is NO "gay gene" but let's humor that - should abortions ONLY apply to straight people?

It is very important that Terri's situation NOT be allowed to happen - putting her down like an imperfect animal. The ramifications are HUGE.

[Tax Government]

Where are all of the feminists...?

They can't come to Terri's rescue, because the parallel is too strong between Terri's situation and that of unborn fetuses. All deserve to live.

[Theodore R.]

George III couldn't hold a candle to the perfidies of Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter et al.

[Peach]

This is what I saw; I haven't read it yet...just noticed the headline.

They have already said no, twice. They are correct.

This matter is a State responsibility and the state exercised due process, not once, but twice.

[Theodore R.]

That's what wrong with America: the lack of credible attorneys!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

She is BRAIN DEAD.

You are simply wrong. I have read many posts by and about you on this thread, and I believe that you have been unfairly treated by many, but on this point I must strongly disagree. Are you aware that in many states a diagnosis of "brain death" is equivalent to a diagnosis of "body death" and thus is requisite permission to harvest organs? Would you agree to harvesting Theresa Schiavo's organs come Monday morning?

BTW, this woman hardly manifests any of the legally acceptable attributes of one who could be legally declared to be "brain dead". Do the research yourself.

[AndrewC]

I've not heard one credible attorney support what the Congress is doing.

Yeah Congress is taking back the law from the judiciary. Write a living will if you don't like Congress making law to cover people's oversight. There would be no question if Michael had bothered to make Terry write down a living will, instead of suddenly remembering that she made an off hand comment during a movie. And that recollection was conveniantly recalled a few months after receiving a large award for her care. That was 3 years after the incident. It seems hard to swallow that three years was required to determine that Terri was in PVS.

They have already said no, twice. They are correct. This matter is a State responsibility and the state exercised due process, not once, but twice.

Yeah, just like slavery. They were right on that too ...

[Txsleuth]

I know, even Lis Wiehl (sp) on Fox disagreed--and Catherine Crier was VERY against it, but I am not as surprised with her, since she was once a judge--

What did surprise me though, was a CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER that was on Rita Cosbys show, and HE was against it--

I thought that was what the congress is trying to do--get Terri's case before a Federal court to preserve her civil right to not be starved to death--you know the Constitution, LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, stuff?

Of course, most of Crier and Weihl's objection is that it is for this one particular woman--I think

Critics: Gay-gene bill about politics, not rights (abortion fears on fetus sexual orientation)
PressHerald ^ | February 24, 2005 | Mark Peters


Posted on 02/24/2005 3:04:40 PM PST by fight_truth_decay


AUGUSTA — A conservative lawmaker is again drawing criticism for a bill he says is about gay rights but some of his colleagues say is about political posturing. State Rep. Brian Duprey, R-Hampden, wants the Legislature to forbid a woman from ending a pregnancy based on the projected sexual orientation of a fetus. He said the bill looks into the future in case scientists find what he described as a "homosexual gene."

"I have heard from women who told me that if they found out that they were carrying a child with the gay gene, then they would abort. I think this is wrong," said Duprey, who got the idea while listening to The Rush Limbaugh Show.

Yeah Congress is taking back the law from the judiciary.

We should make it a crime to be a lawyer, just for 6 months. Please, pretty please ...

[Theodore R.]

Not at all, Cold Heat, there was no due process. George W. Greer's original "findings of fact" though falsehoods held through the entire process, rubberstamped by one set of liberal judges after another. That is no "due process." Convicted killers get many chances to set the record straight. Terri is a victim of MRS, George W. Greer, and George J. Felos and has had no way to get out the truth. I am uncertain if the truth will ever be out in the court record, but it will in time be before the public, if the public has the time to listen.

[B Knotts]

They're all part of the judicial racket, so they cringe at the idea of the people taking back power from the judiciary.

[Cold Heat]

Oh for Pete's sake!

Slavery!

First Nazi's and now slavery......

I am going to bed!

[Theodore R.]

Crier was once part of the TX Republican establishment. Those lawyers and judges do stick together, don't they, like a cabal of conspirators. It seems that many are not very trustworthy. Even the appointees of Reagan and Jeb Bush have been disloyal to what those two men thought they were getting on the bench.
