TAMPA, Fla. (AP) A lawyer for Terri Schiavo's parents says an appeal to try to keep the brain-damaged woman alive has been filed with the U.S. Supreme Court.
Yep. Everyone is on edge. I'm restraining myself considerably.
I do not see it that way.
Look for blue states to slowly and quietly change their laws to reflect Florida's law.
Heresay is a good way to clear out the old folks.
And after the way it's been sanctioned by all the courts, it'll be legal, too!
I am not anti-Italian but the name may just end up like the other verb "a Lewinski"
I respectfully do not agree that it is growing stronger. I do believe that you are correct that the liberal agenda is "alive", but I believe that the general public is tiring of various aspects of it.
Can you imagine how different the social landscape would look with a Gore or Kerry presidency, no internet to "catch" Gunga Dan and his ilk, no conservative radio, etc. I think that things have improved concerning the liberal agenda the last several years.
By the way, I did not come off as "screaming" did I? How do you think I did? Be candid. I'm curious.
I wonder what else he can do using the power of EO.
The guy that called in was Italian - he gave the correct pronunciation of his name/MS - and the real meaning of his name.
Your right - we just might have a new verb - although I hope I never hear his name again.

February 8, 1956 The NAACP files suit on behalf of 33 black children denied admittance to four white schools.
August 28, 1956 Federal Judge John E. Miller dismisses the NAACP suit, declaring the Little Rock School Board had acted in "utmost good faith" in its integration plan. The NAACP files an appeal.
April 29, 1957 The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis upholds Judge Miller's dismissal.
Spring, 1957 There were 517 black students who lived in the Central High district and were eligible to attend Central in the fall. Eighty expressed an interest in doing so. Following interviews with the Superintendent and staff, 17 are selected for the first year of integration at Central. Eight of those later decide to remain at all-black Horace Mann High School.
Summer, 1957 With desegregation scheduled for September, opponents organize the Capital Citizens Council and the Mother's League of Central High School.
August 27, 1957 A member of the Mother's League files a motion seeking a temporary injunction against school integration. Pulaski County Chancellor Murray Reed grants the injunction "on the grounds that integration could lead to violence."
August 30, 1957 Federal District Judge Ronald Davies nullifies the injunction.
September 2, 1957 Governor Orval Faubus calls out the Arkansas National Guard to surround Little Rock Central High School to preserve the peace and avert violence that may be caused by extremists who came to Little Rock "in caravans."
September 3, 1957 Judge Davies orders desegregation to start the next day.
September 4, 1957 The nine black students attempt to enter Central High but are turned away by the National Guard.
September 9, 1957 The Council of Church Women issues a statement opposing segregation and deploring the Governor's calling out the guard. It calls for a citywide prayer service for September 12.
September 20, 1957 Judge Davies rules that Faubus had used the troops to prevent integration, not to preserve law and order as he claimed. The Governor removes the Guardsmen and the Little Rock Police Department takes over.
September 23, 1957 As a crowd of 1,000 mills around in front of the school, the nine black students go inside through a side door. A white student takes them to the principal's office where they are to receive their class assignments. When the mob learns the students are inside, it becomes unruly and the police fear they will be unable to maintain control. The black students are taken out of the school through a side door.
September 24, 1957 Little Rock Mayor Woodrow Mann sends President Eisenhower a telegram asking for federal troops to maintain order and complete the integration process. The President announces he is sending 1,000 members of the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock. He federalizes the 10,000-man Arkansas National Guard.
September 25, 1957 Under escort by the Army troops, the nine black students are escorted back into Central High.
OK, You're for death and I'm for life, see you tomorrow, I sure hope I'm right and not you.. God help you!
I am sorry but Jeb would have never came out today and named this statute if he was not intending to do something?
Why hold the news conference....just to shut up all the supporters of Terry?
Well said.
Well, thanks. You know federal judges are not elected and have lifetime tenure -- so the only way to try and control the federal bench is 1) elect Presidents and Senators who you believe will appoint and confirm decent judges. It's a crapshoot, but the only means right now. Actually, most of Bushes' nominations have been quite good - with two really outstanding ones in poor Miguel Estrada and William Pryor. The other method is a real long shot and that's to urge your Senators and Congress members to impeach federal judges. It's next to impossible - I know of exactly one - from Las Vegas - who was removed, and I think it was because they found he was on the take from the Mob. We have a really out of control one here on the 9th Jerkoff in Cali who has said flat out he sees his role as a social activist and nothing's ever stuck with him. So as I said, it's a real long shot. But maybe after this worth some more effort.
State judges you have a bit more control over. They are usually elected or appointed by the Governor. IF the latter, they have to be reconfirmed by election, even state Supreme Court and appellate judges. I believe a lot of this takeover has resulted from good folks not knowing anything about judicial candidates. DO NOT FOLLOW the local Bar Association or newspaper endorsements. Instead, find a good local conservative legal action group or attorney (like Mark Levin) and get their take. In 1986, we cleaned out a leftist gang from the California Supreme Court, including the chief justice, through grassroots movement.
I of course would be honored to assist in any way possible.
Now, remind me again how many caes Boise has won? :-)
THANKS - I was trying to write about this the other day, and of course didn't have my facts and thought it was Mississippi!! Of course it was Arkansas.
You will win that bet.
Enough to get him to be very rich. And he beat the pants off of Bush's lawyers in appellate argument in my opinion until Olson got involved, and cleaned up the mess of that incompetent Bush retained (not the trial lawyer, that other guy with the longish grey hair). He is a fine lawyer.
He lost his last big three - Bush v. Gore, Microsoft and Napster (which I think was eventually settled by some settlement quite disadvantageous to Napster, Boies' client. I listened to him very closely in all the election 2000 arguments and he's very good at making spurious arguments and misciting authorities. I thought his arguments before SCOTUS in Bush v. Gore really stunk. But he does have two books out now and gets on TV, so who am I?
Yes, and he's been wrong so many other times before. I don't pay much attention to the guy any more.
He thinks the doctors that checked Terri were giving their unbiased diagnoses, ignoring the fact those doctors were hired by Terri's husband. Funny he'd not notice that, aye?
