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.
Good news, but such bad luck that Kennedy is the one who is over this district. Well, the Chief Justice is back from his sick bed (no coincidence me thinks) so hopefully Kennedy will not be able to totally quash it -- against the legislative intent for a new review -- that the 11th Circuit did.
Keep us posted please. I feel as though I am on a death watch. But I guess I should give up on news for now, and read to my daughter.
Well, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How can they possibly take children from neglectful parents if the parants have to say OK?
I heard his show. It was chilling!
Well, it's going to be another bad night. Satan seems unbound this week, doesn't he?
Isn't it always this way at Easter?
Joe said Terri is a child made in the eyes of God.
What have we become as a nation that we allow this woman to be starved to death
Then he said may God have mercy on us all.
It was something to that effect.
The Legislative Branch is now out of the picture, both in Washington and Florida. The only Judicial point not yet explored is the USSC, but FOX is reporting that is now underway. If Kennedy blows it off (I think he might...no specific reason, just a hunch) the Judicial Branch options will have been exhausted.
Which leaves only the Executive Branch, which at both the Federal and State level have openly expressed their desire for Terri to live.
The hearing allowing DCF to take custody of Terri is simply a sop to the part of their enabling legislation that covers normal circumstances. If it's refused they can immediately go to the emergency provisions and remove Terri and not have to justify it before a court until at least mid-next week.
Once again, Bush let the Legislators recuse themselves, let the Courts run to the end of their script, and can now, with full authority, bring the power of the Executive Branch to bear and no one can legitimately claim he's usurped the authority of any other Branch. To make things even better, the section in the DCF statute is not new law, yet reads as if it were written to protect just such a person as Terri.
And if all this fails, I wouldn't be surprised if W has an Ace hiding in his boot.
And they're just finding this out now, eh?
They do not need him to agree with it. This was clearly stated earlier on FOX. DCF has say over the judge due to the new evidence.
Don't go there. :)
ignore them, but if you MUST respond, do so by email.
Republic, I'm just trying to give you all some facts re what's happening within the grounds. Leave me out of it, otherwise.
Did you hear the end...it was a heart stopper!
Wow. That's excellent. I wonder if they need only get a different judge for the court order?
You have FReepmail (2 of them)
I can't remember Holy Week being this bad.
Ok I am going to ask a dumb question. Who is Scarborough ?
And the "outrage" will die down. People are more interested in paying "their fair share" of taxes and amusing themselves than standing for principle. This attitude goes back to the Great Society, and one could argue earlier as well.
I sure hope so, because I'm going to need my homeschooled son to be very successful. So he can pay for that nice rest home I'm dreaming of.
LOL, JK.
Homeschooling is a challenge with a strong-willed, hyperactive 5, almost 6-year-old.
Oh you who can see the forest thru the trees so well...please tell us your source for this!
If this all plays out as you have laid it out, I will be in complete awe of those Bush brothers.
