Well I for one, unlike some "good germans" I know, will not be silent while my fellow citizens are murdered.. before they "come for me", I will speak up!!
Bring it ON!
As maddeneing as it is to watch I'm begiining to believe we're seeing a very carefully constructed process executed driven by the Executive Branches of both the Florida and Federal Governments (read: Jeb and W) that at it's heart is meant to save Terri's life. The tricky part is they're trying to do it in such a way that respects and uses to full adavntage the three distinct jurisdictions of constitutional authority.
The Legislative Branch is now out of the picture, both in Washington and Florida. The only Judicial point not yet explored is the USSC, but FOX is reporting that is now underway. If Kennedy blows it off (I think he might...no specific reason, just a hunch) the Judicial Branch options will have been exhausted.
Which leaves only the Executive Branch, which at both the Federal and State level have openly expressed their desire for Terri to live.
The hearing allowing DCF to take custody of Terri is simply a sop to the part of their enabling legislation that covers normal circumstances. If it's refused they can immediately go to the emergency provisions and remove Terri and not have to justify it before a court until at least mid-next week.
Once again, Bush let the Legislators recuse themselves, let the Courts run to the end of their script, and can now, with full authority, bring the power of the Executive Branch to bear and no one can legitimately claim he's usurped the authority of any other Branch. To make things even better, the section in the DCF statute is not new law, yet reads as if it were written to protect just such a person as Terri.
And if all this fails, I wouldn't be surprised if W has an Ace hiding in his boot.

In history, people who stood up for their rights amd the rights of others were heroes! Look at the Boston Tea party, the American Revolution, the Civil War! Even the libs call these people American heroes. But today, we will all be called terrorists, religious fanatics, hate mongers, for doing exactly the same thing. Give me liberty or GIVE ME DEATH!
