This continual agitation for executive lawlessness is highly unfortunate. I know folks are upset. But that is no excuse.

"Consultation in circumstances like this one is done by phone, and takes only a matter of hours. There'll be a decision by tomorrow."

That is my point, Terri might not have tomorrow or even "a matter of hours."

I have numerous physical imperfections, am short, getting older and Jewish. I'm watching my back.

The petition before the Supremes is for a stay (of Terri's execution).

With all the unanswered questions, I'm really interested in hearing the court's reason for denying it.

Good analogy

Her brain's capacity to experience pain has long withered away with the rest of her cerebral cortex.

Best be alert for the lightning bolts. They feed upon genius like yours.

That was in the complaint, actually, more or less. You can imagine what a judge would do with that one. Roll his eyes.

I was thinking the same thing. It's appearing that the family lawyers are pretty inept.

Did you just hear them read the filing? it sounds very disjointed.

Waste of time. Jeb needs to seize Terri ASAP.

He can't. Family Services can go to evaluate, but can't remove her by Florida law, when the endangered person has a legal guardian. The guardian would need to sign off on it. Her scumbag, cheating, horrible human excrement for a husband would never sign off on it.

Not exactly, but you're close. I used to work in Dependency Court in LA (don't ask.) They take kids away from their parents/guardians by the hundreds every day.

He has even less physical mobility than Terri,

Stephen Hawking is a brilliant scientist, who can communicate. Your statement is simply incorrect.

You are pretty creepy for a NEWBY!!

The majority of SC Bozos see no need to put a 17yr old killer, pre-meditation and all to death, but true to form, they'll allow this.

Judicial Whim is the only Law we live under. The Constitution be damned.

Now Hannity is leturing on Fox News about the law. No comment.

Like September 11, when the terrorists struck the Twin Towers, God is once again speaking loudly to the American people, it's leaders, and the church. He is undoubtedly saying, wake up you sleepers who slumber while the Grim Reaper is reaping his harvest of death. As Jesus spoke in His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, "Oh America, Oh America, how often I would have gathered you together like a hen gathers her chicks, but you would not."

Through this act, America has moved herself one step further into the depths of God's judgment. The pedophiles, the school killings, and other rampant evils taking place among us are a direct result of God lifting his hedge of protection due to our sins.

Continue to laugh those of you who mock God, His Word, and his servants, who for years have warned of judgment to come. "If the righteous scarcely be saved, what shall be the end of those who obey not God?"

I understand, I have a deep dislike of him as well. He is obviously motivated by money

[nimbysrule]

And good people like you guys and many, many others will rise up against Our Robed Masters - and the politicians who enable them.

The U.S. Consitution has been dead for at least 3 decades.

I have seen him before...he is a piece of work. Isn't he a professor?
