Tonight it is, March 22, 2005, over five days since Theresa Marie Schiavo commenced her ordeal of purposeful and legally sanctioned dehydration and starvation. We await a decision from the three judge panel from Eleventh Judicial Circuit as to her fate, as her family struggles with seeing Terri's physical health deteriorate.
You have said this so well. I think more people need to read this:

Agreeing with you in prayer. God bless you.
Good morning, Faith! You have a beautiful name.
I think it's a good idea to pray for each legislator by name, so God knows just who we are talking about.
Yippers. And I intend to do precisely what I said I would do.
Amen. Thank you.

*RenewAmerica alert!*
*Let's not forget:
Terri is being executed by authority of Jeb Bush
*Legislation may be passed, but not the buck
March 22, 2005

The shocking governmental homicide of Terri Schiavo has many dimensions, twists, and turns--all of which, upon analysis, converge on one inescapable reality: The life of Terri Schiavo is solely in the hands of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
While Terri lies dying by slow execution in a Pinellas Park hospice, Gov. Bush and others have looked mainly to the /*legislative process*/ for relief--knowing full well that any special law intended to spare Terri's life will likely be overturned or disregarded by unsympathetic courts on the pretext of "separation of powers."
Terri's protectors have also appealed repeatedly to the /*courts themselves*/ to correct their own excesses and lapses throughout this horrific ordeal--with equally predictable results.
At this point, the obvious solution is an /*executive one.*/
*The case for executive relief*
Any delegating of executive authority to the other branches will not only fail to save Terri, it appears--because the courts pretend to reign supreme, at the expense of true equilibrium between the branches--but it amounts to passing the authoritative buck.
The result will be not only the unconscionable death of an innocent woman whose execution cannot be justified on the basis of the facts, let alone on moral grounds, but the executive power will be shown to be what it has willfully become: impotent.
Not only that, but if Terri dies, the executive authority in Florida /*will be directly complicit.*/
No other entity in the state has authority to kill Terri. The courts can't do it. Nor can the legislature do anything directly about it.
Only the executive can actually put people to death, under constitution-based law.
This fact dispels any notion that the governor is powerless to spare Terri. The truth is, /*only the governor*--/who oversees all agencies of executive power in the state--/*can in fact put Terri to death.*/
*Officers already acting to kill Terri*
Under authority of Jeb Bush, police are already at the scene--not to protect Terri, /*but to ensure that she is killed.*/ They are, in fact, executing her.
Numerous well-meaning people who have tried to feed Terri--acting from simple respect for Judeo-Christian morality and compassion--have been arrested by uniformed officers who are /*acting on executive orders*/ drawn up in conflict with the clear written meaning of constitutional law.
Rather than stand firm on the separation of powers principle upon which the Constitution, itself, is based, the executive power--at this very moment in the Terri Schiavo case--is actively participating in Terri's murder, having abdicated constitutional authority to the emerging bullies in government: the judiciary.
The result is total chaos, in the midst of an unprecedented constitutional crisis, the /only remedy to which is for the executive to defend his rightful turf and preserve not only Terri's life, but the life of the republic./
The outward "orderliness" with which Terri is now being cruelly put to death--upon "orders" from an agenda-driven judiciary that has no power to act--belies the real truth of what is happening. Our nation's heart is being ripped out /*by the executive*--/not by anyone else--and with that loss goes our moral authority as a nation to lead the world.
As some suggest, we are behaving as a third-world dictatorship that cares little about innocent human life, and less about constitutional law.
/*Gov. Bush,*/ put a stop to this travesty right now, for the sake of all that our nation stands for, in the interest of meriting God's merciful protection of our country in the years ahead.
If you "allow" Terri to die, you will indeed be her chief executioner. */CALL GOV. BUSH at 850-488-4441, or e-mail him by clicking /**/here/* */./* **

Amen and Amen.
Amen to your prayer tesaxstar and my I add, Lord would you please soften the heart of that one member of the senate who would help pass SB 2128? Amen
Is this something YOU are trying to do? Or did someone do this?
Shezza, have you had your coffee already?
I think I'd better go make some. I can hardly see to type, LOL!
GO! Do it. :) It was an awesome letter.
Thank you
Terri is rapidly dying. If they were heard en banc in Atlanta, that would take hours. It would take hours for them to rule. They will probably rule against, but even if they ruled for, Felos would appeal to the Supreme Court. More hours and hours. She does not have that. It may take some more time for her to die, but at some point her kidneys shut down and there is no more reason to appeal for the tube. These are my reasons why I think they short-circuited to the Supreme Court. But all Courts always rule against Terri, don't they?
My eyes are still trying to focus. I missed your prayer. But just found it, amen.
Well said, valleygal!
"Lord would you please soften the heart of that one member of the senate who would help pass SB 2128? Amen"
Hope you are hangin' in there. Are you okay?
Welcome :)
I'm off coffee for Lent. I tried being off food with Terri, too, but I just couldn't do it. In my weakness, I had the luxury of walking to the fridge and satisfying my hunger and thirst with anything I desired. And now I am weeping. I hope Michael, Felos, and "good Baptist" Greer rot in the pit of hell.
I'm OK. I just don't do well on little sleep, especially after 15 hours on the computer (I had to leave the house last night so haad a short break).
I may be in and out for a while this morning here.
You explained it well, and the House should impeach all four of those judges for denying the de novo trial. In that the House will surely back away, the institution will become increasingly irrelevant. I know an impeachment would fail in the Senate, but there still should be impeachment for not following the law.
btw, thank you for caring and asking. :)
