Ping!
They said they will reconvene at 5 pm EST.
I am glad they are reconvening, but considering that Terri is starving, one would think, they could have reconvened at 9 am instead.
Here we go, time to bring down the hammer!
Where are all the noisy Democrats who recently took to the Senate floor blathering about saving the lives of carribou in Alaska??
After doing what it takes to save Terry's life, they should declare Judge Greer in contempt of Congress and haul him up to D.C. in chains.
How would all this apply to the thousands of others out there in a similar situation to Terri? Particular those with living wills? Is this the federal government's business?
I predict further turmoil.
I will do a CNN debate tonight
Things have improved and I see a path for her."
My question is: what is actually going to come of this though? What are they going to do (in time) that will re-insert the tube ? I'm not trying to be a pain here, I just want to know if this will have any direct effect... we thought the subpoenas would work because you can't tamper with a federal witness... why should anything else work if greer is just going to ignore it, and Jeb won't use actual force?
Change the wording to "shall" or "will." ?
About time!
Greer could still issue another order removing the feeding tube, even after Congress passes the bill and the President signs it. We're still in for a bumpy ride.
The uproar could have been completely avoided if the courts had simply done what they should have done in the first, place, ie. follow the law laid down by the Florida legislature.
Government spending through the roof and now micro managing a state/domestic issue.
We are witness a breathtaking philosophical shift in American politics..
I pray the save Terri and put that judge in jail.
Re the conversation I'm seeing on Fox: I would think the Constitutional issue is whether Terri's rights are being violated by her husband.

I think it is very worth noting, because all media including FNC, that this only will give jurisdiction to the federal courts. It does NOT guarantee the federal courts will not agree with the state courts.
I DO also think that this Felos lawyer needs to clarify who he represents. Does he represent Terri? the husband? Is he maintaining that he represents both? Does he represent a right to die organization? Attroney Felos will not get removed from the case, but who he represents should be clarified. Especially after his wacko outburst. It is the exact kind of audio Rush would play to show the aburdity of the left in their own words. Felos is a kook who has prevented this case from reaching a REASONABLE mediation.
Under normal circumstances the husband would have the final say in such a case. We need to keep that in mind as the federal courts will have to be shown why this is not a normal circumstance and why the facts argue this is not a normal circumstance.
Right now, the law presumes do all in the absence of documentation to the contrary. I think attorneys like felos want to change the presumption to death.
