Mod note: Calls for violence will result in suspensions
Michael Schiavo has filed a petition with the Supreme Court asking them to stay out of the case.
Hey, I'm with this guy. However, this is often easier said than done, and in this case I repeat I do not envy Gov. Bush.
We have crossed the Rubicon. There's no looking back because the battle is in front of us now...
Then FL law should have stated that.
Yet, neither have. What was the purpose of Jeb's press conference yesterday?
I'm hearing (on talk radio) a backlash against this lack of action.
Buchanan on Hardball- Send In Federal Marshalls to Save Shiavo
Schiavo Spokesman Randall Terry calls for Gov. Bush to use Constitutional .. Gov. appears unwilling!
Keyes- 'Jeb Bush has the authority' to save Terri
Judge Greer has a history of bad rulings.
Like the recent one in which he stopped a womans restraining order against a ex - husband . He killed her.
He is also legally blind !!!
He has signed off on Mike request to cremate her.
Lame duck President Bush needs to call out the troops and remove Terry to the protection of the nearest Army base.
Andrew Jackson and Dwight Eisenhower would have done it.
Felos was on the board of the hospice Terri is residing in now.
I heard Bobby Schindler on Glenn Beck this morning say a judge, not sure which judge ( don't know if it was Greer) ordered Terri into the hospice on the pretense she only had 6 months to live. This was 5 yrs ago. She had been warehoused at that point. When Terri entered the hospice, Felos resigned the board.
The politics of crisis. Do we know they didn't ask for help? It's really the client's responsiblity to accept what help is offered. I suspect that whoever was calling the shots (Terry?) was most responsible.
That's debatable. dennisw has an excellent compilation of Greer's violations of FL law in this case. And there's an online petition to impeach Greer - largely ineffective I know, but the point is - that details them as well, citing appropriate statutes for each.
I saw that too, plus several good legal minds in subsequent interviews said the same. I wondered at the time, so why on earth hasn't one of these put his talent where his mouth is and stepped up to the base to help?
I predicted it yesterday. The state would break out the SWAT teams and armored vehicles in order to send a message to the people. The state loves a party where it gets to remind us of just who controls who........
lemme see...........
You have a backwater judge who made a ruling and has defied anyone and everyone to overturn his decision.......including elected oficials who are supposed to have equal powers.
THAT is judicial tyranny!
As with most polls, they were carefully worded to get the response they wanted. Most people in this country only give half an ear to the news and will agree with the slant "Katie," "Matt," or "Oprah" give to the story.
Who's gonna remove Jeb if he acts. Greer and what army? How is it illegal if he makes an executive order to do so? If Jeb doesn't act, he will lose all future political bids and ambition. He will have shun the conservative base. I'm here in FL and if Jeb doesn't act, I will work damn hard against him if he chooses to run for the US Senate.
Well said.
This battle is over, the war is not. Stay strong!! Don't give up!
I think it's more than just that. For me, it's body language, the look in the eyes...things like that. He doesn't come across well, if that makes any sense. Granted, our society does not cast judgement based on those things, yet we've all had 'gut feelings' about people.
Michaels brother speaking out for him has done, IMHO, way more damage for Michael's side then good. His lack of care and compassion for Terri was blatant.
Judge Greer has a history of bad rulings.
Like the recent one in which he stopped a womans restraining order against a ex - husband . He killed her.
He is also legally blind !!!
He has signed off on Mike request to cremate her.
Afraid they would steal his thunder?
