This is not the answer. Who knows if they will reinsert the tube when Bush signs it. Greer just may rule they have no jurisdiction. Plus the Federal Courts may agree with Greer.

Judge Greer does not neccessarily have the final say here. If Gov. Bush decides to send in the National Guard to settle this matter, he has the power to do so.

Legal experts were discussing this very thing on Friday.

once it is signed into law, the FEDS can then slap an injunction and temporary restraining order on Judge Greer and Schiavo so fast it will make their F'n heads spin....

The federal courts will reject jurisdiction of a state probate case. For a bunch that cries "states' rights" and "keep the courts out of state affairs," the political pirates are very keen on demanding intervention in one of the most basic of all purely state issues; the decisison on probate matters.

We are fortunate that there is no war budget to manage, no labor or foreign trade issues, no problem with the economy, healthcare or social security problems to be dealth with. We're damn lucky to have a House and Senate populated by zealots anxious beyond description to become the Hyper-Supreme Court of Florida in combination with instant physicians able to supervene the evaluations of several panels who have made a determination consistent with the criteria set out by the Florida Legislature and courts.

This thing long ago ceased being about the patient and became a power game for the radio talking heads, the extreme Right and those to whom winning the power game is more important than the law or the game's subject. It's a muscle flexing exercise intended to demonstrate to those out of power that they are impotent in the face of the inmates now running the asylum.
