"I guess you didn't hear what Tom DeLay said about her husband. 'Course, that's OK, since he's a scumbag murderer and all, right?"
Right.
Good. There are several more matters that need to be taken out of their hands.
"We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want. ..."
Who the hell is WE? Or is Mikey the king of Florida now?
THe bigger they are, the Harder they fall.
So Michael isn't in charge of Terri anymore?? Does this take away his Guardianship? ( please say yes)
PRAISE THE LIVING GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!
I agree with Your post # 18...by the way the # 18 in Hebrew means:
Chai...TO LIFE!
I also give Thanks to GOD for our beloved President George W. Bush, he truly is a man of his word and a man who Believes in GOD, HIS WORD (The HOLY Scriptures) and The RIGHT TO LIFE...meaning that: ALL LIFE IS PRECIOUS.
PRAYING right now for Terri, that she will survive this lattest attempt by her estranged "Husband" and the Socialist Florida State Court system to end her life.
Lifting up in Prayer Mr. & Mrs. Schindler and the entire Family...Strength, Courage and Grace.
I'm also Praying for Mr. Schiavo, his Lawyer and the Judge involved...May GOD show them how Evil they are, cause them to Repent and Save their Souls.
Amen ~ and ~ Amen.
A Note to ALL of the Shameful Democrat Congress Members who Howled like EVIL DEMONS in the House Chamber last night and early this morning...SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.
YOU are the epitome of the Culture of DEATH that has swept through this Nation...What a Disgusting Display for ALL the World to see and hear, however, You actually showed the entire World...Who and What You Are, and to Whom You Belong, Bow Down to and Serve (haSatan).
You ALL proved just how far You ALL will go to push Your Evil Agendas, this is not the first nor the last.
Our only solice is that on The Great Day of The LORD You ALL will have to stand before HIS Holy Throne and give an account for ALL that You have done...
You will be found: Naked, Wanting and Without an Excuse!
America has be able to see the moral clarity of President Bush and the GOP again in contrast to the nuances and death-culture of the Democrats.
God bless President Bush!
Chai..TO LIFE! Amen.
Doubtful. The Court won't issue a stay if the moving party is likely to lose on the merits, unless there's some text in the legislation that makes a TRO mandatory (which there isn't).
Article III, section 2, para 2:
"In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."
No, you're not the only one uncomfortable with it. There are many of us. Most, however, are afraid to speak up.
