Ann's never been wrong, yet. But there are people who are waiting for her to miss one.
I'm not among them.
God help Terri because, aside from Gov. Bush, it appears as though no one else will.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a republican congressman or senator to show some balls; or to take a hit for a moral cause. It's much easier for them to sit back and offer verbose oration about how they are standing for life....but to actually DO some type of bold action like send in the police????? Well that would take something the republicans simply don't have. But I sure and the hell wish they did!
I dont know why, but I really didn't pay attention to this story much until recently, I just couldn't believe they were going to let her just die.
I watched my Dad die slowly from Alzhiemers/Dementia, and there was no way I was going to smother him with a pillow/slip him a toxic cocktail/shoot him to make him die earlier just because he wasn't going to get better.
At the worst, we would have sedated him to die painless from whatever was killing him at the moment. He was on a DNR from the day he went in anyways, we knew he was never going to get better, so, letting him die from whatever was killing him was bad enough.
But to actually create some situation where we would be the source and control of what would eventually kill him, that would be murder.
He was not some flame thrower victim in combat who would not survive the trip to sick bay because of 100% burns, he was not injured with all limbs broken and bleeding profusely 100 miles from civilization and putting him out of his misery, he was in a nursing home/hospital.
So is Terry Schiavo.
Taking out the feeding tube is murder, and her husband plans to profit from it. I am privately convinced he has movie deals, book deals already in the works detailing "his" pain and suffering.
And that is all this is. HIS suffering he is worried about. I know it personnaly, I was relieved my father died last August because it meant I would not have to go see him like that and it meant my Mother would not have to go and see him die every day she went and did his laundry and feed him and bathe him like she did. It took away her pain of seeing him suffer. And that means more to me than my Dad's suffering because he was going to die, she is quite well and alive and has to carry on without him. I pitied her and was thankful he died so she didn't have to suffer watching him die.
JEB Bush needs to declare a state emergency, activate the National Guard and go inside that hospice and take her out and give her to her parents.
If she dies later, naturally, it would still be the right thing to do.

Drudge has slipped into insignificance. Blogs have run past him.
THANK YOU for not forgetting the MANDATORY requirement on all Ann Coulter threads!!!!!
Starved for justice (ANN COULTER re: Schiavo)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1369192/posts
"Florida state court Judge George Greer – last heard from when he denied an order of protection to a woman weeks before her husband stabbed her to death – determined that Terri would have wanted to be starved to death based on the testimony of her husband, who was then living with another woman. (The judge also took judicial notice of the positions of O.J. Simpson, Scott Peterson and Robert Blake.) The husband also happened to be the only person present when the oxygen was cut off to Terri's brain in the first place. He now has two children with another woman."
Unless you're joking, it's Matt Drudge. In fact, even if you aren't, it's still Matt Drudge.

It will make you cry, Tonk.
...and also complain about the liberation of 50 million Iraqis and saving the life of one innocent Florida woman.
(keep in mind that Ann's a more-than-able attorney in her own right)
>> Just once, we need an elected official to stand up to a clearly incorrect ruling by a court.
Forget it, Ann. Our elected officials are a bunch of wimps who prefer others (e.g., judges) make the hard decisions. That said, all three branches are corrupt beyond hope, and it will take a revolution stop the tyranny.
Thanks for the ping. I've been waiting all week to hear from Ann on this.

Thank you for that post. Ann & Laura, my heros! Ann is spot on with this one! I laughed and cried though her column.
I fear the "Republican Party" is a fantasy that differs from reality and we are seeing a spineless trend that will continue...
She is The best....a gutter fighter (and we all need more)...But still the best!!!
Bullseye! Stand up to these jackass judges and take some action.
