Aside from killing a disabled woman, what’s the controversy?

Where is this nation when judicial rubber stamping results in execution of a disabled woman, with Third Constitutional Amendment Congressional oversight of this woman's fourteenth amendment rights ignored by a Federal judge? In grave trouble, that's where ... judicial tyranny is the issue, whether by conservative or liberal judges; active oversight is the solution.

[Spok]

Since Roe v. Wade, the very idea of killing the 'inconvenient' gets more and more palatable to a large segment of society. This is how the Germans were able to ignore the Final Soulution.

Its about what kind of country we are and whether the courts will obey the law. We've just received the answers and I don't know how things will be turned around.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[wildwood]

you're right, now that i think of it. hey, her wife beater husband wanted her dead anyway, eh?

[agere_contra]

her artificial surviving process is merely being stopped

I'm just off to a restaurant to engage in an artificial surviving process.

[GloriaJane]

And the world said "Never Again!" But we are watching it happen here.

[ClearCase_guy]

her artificial surviving process is merely being stopped

Signed up today?
And you know nothing about the case?

[Tax-chick]

I think I'll make a bowl of mush and do an Artificial Surviving Process for the baby.

[macamadamia]

"her artificial surviving process"

So food and water are now "artifical surviving processes"?

Are food and water also "artifical surviving processes" for the severely disabled?

[GloriaJane]

Sniff! Sniff! Sniff! Troll?

[workerbee]

she is not executed, her artificial surviving process is merely being stopped

Oh, thanks, cleared that right up for us. Whew, good thing you showed up today.

"hey, her wife beater husband wanted her dead anyway, eh?"

Well I sure think so.
I can't tell you what's wrong with the Florida legislature and judiciary. They are both beyond redemption. I pray for Terri's soul.

[Cathy]

Dreaming, miracles, matrix - holy cow! We are all under a grand spell that Terri is being starved........

[MHGinTN]

This a Constitutional crisis; whether the media and the Congress will address it is another matter. Imagine, if you will, that a very 'right-wing' conservative ruling were rubber stamped along a state court system, then again rubber stamped by a Federal judge holding a request from Congress to do a de novo hearing for the case.

[Hildy]

So now Freepers can post their "valued" opinions as BREAKING NEWS? I know Freepers think highly of themselves, but, come on.

[Fudd Fan]

My husband and I were talking about this the other day, and he asked me if I'd want to go on if I were in Terri's condition. TOld him, in no uncertain terms, that if I was only relying on food & water, he'd dam well better not stop that. He promptly shut up.
