Just heard on Fox that U.S. Senate will convene today in emergency session regarding Terri Schiavo.
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.
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.
George III couldn't hold a candle to the perfidies of Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter et al.
This is what I saw; I haven't read it yet...just noticed the headline.

This matter is a State responsibility and the state exercised due process, not once, but twice.
That's what wrong with America: the lack of credible attorneys!
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.
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.
Yeah, just like slavery. They were right on that too ...
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)

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.

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

They're all part of the judicial racket, so they cringe at the idea of the people taking back power from the judiciary.
Slavery!
First Nazi's and now slavery......
I am going to bed!
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.
