"Condemned to die by 1 vote at the U.S. Court of Appeals"
Please educate me here. Can those judges be removed from office by the President?
I assume the answer is no or he would have cleared out all the Democrats appointed by Clinton like those Court of Appeal Death-o-crats.
"unless the protective investigator suspects that the vulnerable adult's caregiver or guardian has caused the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The department shall, within 24 hours after providing or arranging for emergency removal of the vulnerable adult, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, petition the court for an order authorizing emergency protective services."
It only provides the authority for them to petition the court.
They tried that and the court denied the petition.

I know, MS.B....
who were the two?
It's in God's Hands Tonk.
"Condemned to die by 1 vote at the U.S. Court of Appeals, 2 votes in the FL Senate. This is heartbreaking."
It is. I cannot believe that it has gone this far with nobody helping her. This is really sick.
And here I've been worried about how my sick cat was going to do without food for one day when she had surgery at the vet yesterday! I can't even imagine the pain Terri's parents and brother are being put through. And Terri especially.
You are correct, from the Declaration of Independence:
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Haha yeah, everyone wants to be the first to ZOT a TROLL. Some don't take time to really read the meat of it or give the newbie the benefit of the doubt.
Makes me wonder how many new signups we drive off within the first day of calling them trolls. Then again, it sure is fun when you've got the real thing! haha.
Anyway, welcome to Free Republic. Hope your stay here is politically satisfying. =P Lemme know if there's anything you need to know.
I guarantee Judge James Whittemore will be impeached by congress for ignoring and NOT following directions...
If you believe that, I have a good bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
The fight over judicial nominations is going to be ugly. But, in the end - our side will let the Dems steamroll them. We'll have to put up someone just to the bare right of Teddy Kennedy for them to get through.
Face it. We've voted in a bunch of people that have ZERO backbone in doing the "right" thing. All the rest (the legislative action this past weekend, Jeb's posturing, etc) is theatre for our consumption. And we continue to fall for it.
I'm disgusted enough to sit out the next 10 elections. But it won't do any good, and if enough of us did it, the Hildabeast will be President - which is even worse, God help us.
I have a feeling it will be ringing soon..If this Govt fails to take action to save this woman than how can we be a beacon to the world. How can we send our young men and women into battle to die for strangers to have freedom when we can't even save one of our own from ourselves. If she dies, the liberals have won.
Some leader he turned out to be.
Heck, you can be arrested for doing to a dog what's being done to her.
If I lived in FL, I would be in my car making for the state capital. If people in that state actually give a damn, if their pols don't actually speak for them, if they don't want this done IN THEIR NAME, they'd better make that clear NOW.
Or Floridians will have to live with this on their consciences and the consequences of their inaction.
My sentiments too!
God Bless the one Demi, but the 3 of them did NOT follow directions.....It was supposed to be a fresh hearing, not based on the lower court reults....
