I guess Jeb is planning to back off against Greer.
Yep......I understand that he can't go ahead. At least that is what the Governor's legislative office just told me a few minutes ago. I told her that he has executive power.I don't understand enough of the powers of the government all I could do was weep as a ignorant pheasant and tell her no matter what " it was NOT RIGHT, and it is the saddest day America has seen"........we have been overtaken by TERRORISTS in our OWN LAND, and cannot do a thing about it!!!!!! PRESIDENT BUSH will hear from me. We need to revise some laws in honor or TERRI!!!!!!!
This is what I am thinking:
They got us by a very evil, but clever ruse:
Because Greer certified legally by Florida state law, that Terri had expressed the desire to refuse medical treatment if she was incapacitated, this becomes a fight not over whether Michael caused it, there is corruption in that country, or even if she was abused while under care.
It becomes a constititutional issue about the right to refuese treatment.
All the issues about injustice to Terri fall away because they say she wanted to die if she was like this.
It doesn't matter that MS has another.
It doesn't matter that she was abused.
It doesn't matter that there are conflicts of interest.
From their POV, Greer acted within the bounds of Florida law, got enough doctors to sign off on it, and found that there was enough with the statements of Michael and his family that she wouldn't have wanted to live.
Doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it just, just means it's legal.
Because it does deal with a protected right to refuse treatment, they probably have Jeb's hands tied. If it were not a constitutional right, or there was enough evidence to say MS perjured himself, there might be a case...but if he went in, they would turn around and take her back legally on Monday, I suspect.
Your right to refuse medical treatment and therefor die is evidently the most important right you have in this country. They sure are acting like it's the primary one.
God save us.
God protect us.
Lord, into your hands we commit those who are at risk of being betrayed like you were by their loved ones.
Amen.
