The president can write an executive order to get Terri into a hospital immediately. It is not breaking any law to do so. The judge can still take time to ruminate over this case. This action would not interfere with the judge. And since Greer already flaunted a Congressional subpoena his ruling is highly questionable.

Executive orders are lawful. They've been written by presidents ever since Washington on a number of different issues.

Contacting the president and ask him to write an executive order immediately. If you cannot reach him, then contact your state senators and representatives.

Terri Schiavo: We should protect our most vulnerable citizens (Joe Scarborough)

As you may know, I have spent the last week on my TV and radio show fighting to save the life of Terri Shiavo. Like many opinion givers, lawmakers, and American citizens, I am shocked and saddened by the forced starvation of a young, helpless woman who is being sentence to death simply because she cannot feed herself. Applying this standard, infants, Alzheimers patients, the elderly and infirmed would face a court ordered death.

If we are to judge our society, as Hubert Humphrey once suggested, by how we protect the weakest among us, America is in trouble.

So where does my confession come in? Well, here goes. Until late last week, I didn't want to talk about Terri Shiavo. It was too depressing a spectical, too ugly a fight. I wanted to turn my eyes away from this beautiful young woman who turned into a helpless, bedridden soul. As beautiful to her mother and father as she was on her 16th birthday, the Terri Shiavo of 2005 was just too painful to watch.

I suspect I was not alone. I have noted over the past several days a growing outrage for a judicial system that would allow a mother's daughter to starve to death in the most plentiful country on earth.

This morning on my radio show, I had planned to talk about the Patriot Act and a host of other issues.

But Portland called, and they wanted to talk about Terri.

Atlanta? Terri.

Orlando? Terri.

Washington DC? Terri.

Iowa...of course...Terri.

Three days ago, few Americans cared. But that is no longer the case. We are all wide awake in America, and we are no longer afraid to look into the eyes of Terri Schiavo.

And like her parents, we see a beautiful young woman made in the image of God.

A God who will not bless this or any nation that kills its weakest and most vulnerable citizens.

May God forgive us all.

Terri and Mom.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that we can continue to uphold the Schindler family as they go into another night of abject despair. Under gird them in their agony, even as we pray that You will sustain their beloved daughter unto the time of her rescue. Make haste, O Lord ... we look to You to save them from the pit of hell. In the Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen ...

Hi Polly. Feeling better?

Kennedy has already rejected Terri on another legal point. Nothing would ever come from the USSC. I would imagine it would be 8-1 against Terri.

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.

where did the previous thread go?

Prayers and Love Continuing for our sister.

Before I leave for the night, Michael Savage said on his program tonight that Terri could not be executed this way in the USA if she were either (a) a black, (b) a lesbian, or (c) an Islamic. And I think Savage is on to something there. The persecuted ones today are white Christians.

It was supposed to be locked, not pulled, with the new thread put there. Working on it now with the mods.
