The lesson here is: As a matter of law, if you want to kill your wife/husband do it slowly and the Judges will allow it.

(s)Scott peterson must be kicking himself(/s)

They are responsible for the runaway tyranny of the court system.

You are so right.

Folks, it's time to draw lines in the sand. Not just on this issue but all of the other issues where rogue judges have decided upon themselves that THEY know better and can write law from the bench.

When I vote I expect changes to occur not the same ole crap!! What have we gotten? THE SAME OLE CRAP!!

These assholes better start looking out for the people that put them in office or otherwise they better start looking over their shoulders.

I have drawn my line in the sand, and by God I hope they don't step over MY line.

"Vishnu thinks she's going to be reincarnated anyway :-)"


LOL!! Thanks for the levity in the middle of the worst public nightmare since OJ.

[visualops]

The new talking point in the news, is to refer to Terri's parents as wanting to "keep her body alive".
So she's no longer Terri, but a "body".

[Republican Wildcat]

Talk about obsession. A woman is being murdered right under our noses and you want to talk about immigration on this thread? You are messed up.

[Lancey Howard]

The three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta said in a 2-1 ruling that the parents ''failed to demonstrate a substantial case on the merits of any of their claims.''

[Republican Wildcat]

That's what it sounded like to me - although they came up on a hard break and weren't able to allow her to elaborate.

[american colleen]

Congress is wasting their time on this

The 'this' is a physically healthy, brain damaged human being who is being slowly starved and dehydrated to death.

[american colleen]

Heard it too... kind of glad there was a break, I didn't need to and didn't want to know more. Kind of all you needed to hear.

She also said Terri isn't comfortable around men (interesting).

[blueriver]

Yes - I feel very alienated from the people who agree with this killing. I just can not understand their moral compass. For the people that cast the votes that actually will be responsible for her death (the judges and the Senators) they are no different from a convicted murderer in my book. Murder is murder and they know who they are. How do they sleep at night?

[Gritty]

Stop screwing around and deferring to these guys as if they are greater than you and you are the lesser party which needs to beg and scrape. You are a co-equal branch of this government. Act like one.

Drop the hammer on them and let the chips fall where they may. Send in the Marshalls. Stand up and put an end to this crap!

[Vor Lady]

What has been especially hard for me to understand in the pro-death freepers. I naively thought that conservative meant pro-life. I've found out this past week all the mutations that conservative means. I hope if I ever get into Terri's situation that there are no conservatives around to 'help me out of my misery'!

[Republican Wildcat]

This is such a tragedy I can't even tell you. The comments by the judge showed on screen dismissing her testimony was such a cop-out...sort of like "I can't be bothered with this."

[EricT.]

I totally agree with you. I have been struggling with being associated with people that are so caught up with legalistic process that they would applaud the state-ordered murder of an innocent disabled woman, charged only with the crime of helplessness. The worst part is that they consider anyone that calls it murder as whackos gone off the deep end.

I am re-evaluating my association here. I have had several good years here, but I just can't put up with people that not only refuse to recognize gross injustice, they support it. It is just sickening.

[festus]

For the same reason they won't admit that not feeding her is starvation.

If they told the truth the wrong answer would be obtained.

Firey torment awaits these folks.

[festus]

How dumb can this woman be? Does she think he's going to treat her any differently under similar circumstances?

Gals can be pretty dumb. Scott Peterson is getting love letters from admirers as do most serial killers on death row.

Some gals is just plain weird.

[Republican Wildcat]

It's only a small minority of the Freepers that are pro-death. Just keep in mind who they are when evaluating their future credibility as issues arise.

[dino1955]

I'm with you!! Please, no self appointed heroes such as this to defend my rights! I would prefer to be left in my "misery" until the Lord decides it is time for me to join Him!! What I can't figure out is...how do they figure that she is so miserable anyway if she cannot feel anything, as they contend?
