Lawyer: Schiavo Ruling Expected Soon

AP ^ | 3.22.05

Florida isn't the problem. Rather it is the American judiciary system is is out of control. We no longer have a democratic republic, but a judicial oligarchy which is passing from being controlled by their feelings to international forces.

I am thinking the same thing.Who are these people, they will have their dinner with wine etc.Go over the stuff with the clerks,sign off on the draft of the ruling and then go home to their wives and kids.
"Hey honey,how was your day? Me i made sure that this defenseless impaired woman continued to be starved to death...while our goon bouncers stripsearch her parents in case they sshould smuggle an ice cube......Hey little Johnny Stop Hitting your Sister,That's not nice!!!!!

[northernlightsII]

Forcefeeding of common sense seems to be in orderand sadly lacking.

'He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind (nothing),
And the fool will be servant(Schiavo) to the wise of heart' Proverbs 11:29

Schiavo means 'slave' in Italian. Slave to evil perhaps.

We who live here encourage you to do so.

We tire of jam packed highways and loud obnoxious Northerners who act like they are on the Good Ship Lollipop. Tourists are not welcome in most places here that aren't designed for them...just tolerated, barely. We don't need your self-rightous money. We've taken many of your manufactoring jobs. Right to work state you know...And if the transplants would leave too...we natives would celebrate.

"The Schindlers have been locked for years in a battle with Schiavo's husband over whether her feeding tube should be disconnected. State courts have sided with Michael Schiavo, who insists his wife told him she would never want to be kept alive artificially."

Hubby heard on O'Reilly's radio show tonight that it's NOT true that Terri Can't eat.

Terri can't feed herself so needs someone to feed her. The feeding tube was easier than having someone take the time to feed her.

So, the 'artificial means' wasn't even necessary, just convenient.

What would the fact that Terri's husband introduced the 'artificial means as a convenience do to this court case? I've been following this case for a long time and don't remember ever reading when the feeding tube was inserted in Terri. Anyone know? Before Terri's husband got the court settlement or after he got the money and stopped any and all rehabilitation?

On another note, hubby heard on another radio show that Judge Greer is a born again Christian. From all I've read, he's a Scientologist? Anyone know the truth?

[Sir Valentino]

I agree. I can't imagine who would want to go on "living" the way she is.

You know, I'm really sick of *DISRUPTORS* like you gloating over Terri's suffering. Either you support *COLD-BLOODED MURDER* or you support *LIFE*. It's really that *SIMPLE*.

You should *ASK* yourself this question: If you were in Terri's *SHOES*, would you want *PRESIDENT BUSH* deciding whether you live or die, or would you prefer to have *THE CLINTONS* deciding for you? It's really that *SIMPLE*.

If you're on the *WRONG* side of this issue, you really don't deserve to call yourself a *CHRISTIAN*.

The State if Florida should not have to pay for a judge's horrific interpretation of the law.

[Time4Atlas2Shrug]

That's fine - when your pink house is wiped off your little peninsula by the next hurricane, please do not cry for federal dollars.

You know I don't know agree with Ambrose's view, but your attack is just plain wrong. To say that someone who has a different view than you do cannot call themselves a Christian is a just plain stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aliska]

I didn't know that. I thought I was the only one. Finally tonight I wrote two emails tonight to Florida somebodies and expressed those sentiments.

I'm glad to know there are more. My family loves to vacation there. I never wanted to visit the place.

Isn't it odd that once upon a terrible time Ponce de Leon set off to find the Fountain of Youth in that place?

[KDD]

I can deal with the storms.

Keep your snow shoveled.

[Coldwater Creek]

Judge Greer is a Southern Baptist, just about a 180 from being a Scientologist.

[Sir Valentino]

To say that someone who has a different view than you do cannot call themselves a Christian is a just plain stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

Christians are supposed to *RESPECT* life! If you support the *MURDER* of Terri, how can you *POSSIBLY* be a Christian???

[Catspaw]

My brother-in-law is currently on a feeding tube. It isn't because he can't feed himself--he, post-stroke, has the use of his right side, but it is difficult for him to swallow more than soft or pureed foods, and he is just beginning to be able to swallow water by spoon. He's on a feeding tube because he can't get sufficient nutrition or hydration by his own efforts alone. This may be the case with Terri.

[Right_Rev]

Thier are many Degrees of Baptist! Even the 39th President taught Sunday School and it still wasn't worth peanuts!!!

[Coldwater Creek]

Even if you have been born again, you might not always act like a Christian, but you are still one. It would be better to try to change Ambrose's views and not judge his salvation.

[Time4Atlas2Shrug]

We generally do not ask for federal funds for snow shoveling. I love the snow, anyway. Many of you flatlanders overrate that sticky mosquito-infested, crime-ridden state.

Hope your AC doesn't kick out.

Point well taken Gary. I'm just so frustrated and my post was empty bluster. I know not everyone in Florida wanted Gore to come out on top in that court debacle, nor does everyone support the legislators who voted down the most recent Shiavo bill or even support Greer & Whittemore's decisions.
Idaho was in the same "boat" back when the Aryan Nations were here - a lot of tourists boycotted us as a "racist" state when it was only a few uglies who gave us all a bad reputation. Like I said in my first post, I didn't mean to offend but it looks like I did. Sorry KDD.
