[ConservativeMan55]

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.

If food and water are hereby deemed extraordinary means of sustenance, what then for an infant dependent on a bottle?

Hannity, pitbull that he can be at times, pressed the doctor on this and he said yes, they were his quotes

I've read up on Felos .. but hadn't on the Dr ..

My jaw was on the floor reading those comments

The cause of death will be officially entered on her death certificate as suicide. The immediate cause will be entered as dehydration.

Shiavo's lawyer has been spouting like he was accepting an Academy award or something. He has been chiding the "Executive Branch".
Just been asked if he will take action against Bush..says it would be kidnapping as there is no other legal way to get her. The gauntlet has just been thrown down!

We have THREE branches of government, and they are EQUAL.

Why is Governor Bush and even the president, letting a county judge bully them?

Should Michael Schiavo be arrested on conspiracy to murder and have his guardianship immediately revoked?

Yes.

SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT GOVERNOR GREER!

SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT GOVERNOR ARCHDUKE GREER!

I would have used Emperor, but that's reserved for SCOTUS.

He's making the point that Judge Greer seems to be the only person in power in Florida.

"My God where are we in this country?"

Remember the C&W song that said "are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell? Is there no kind of ????? for the flag or the liberty bell?" We are now in the snowball phase.

They will not act. Don't build up false hope. As President and Governor, they must act within the law.

I agree that they will not act to rescue her, but only because the pretext of acting 'within the law' (whatever the heck THAT means) gives them cover to not do what they should do.

Which is lawful; to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?

Cordially,

"I heard the state police was notified to stop anyone from entering Hospice to take Terri......the judge ordered it I think."

Someone posted that a NYTimes reporter has information that Greer has ordered police or the National Guard to prevent Jeb Bush from taking Terri. I couldn't find that post after a few minutes, and so can't see if that were true or just an inflammatory troll, as it appears to have disappeard, unless someone can find it. If true, that goes beyond separation of powers.

Other than that, I can't post here, as we are not to incite violence if we wish to continue to post.

[MadIvan]

Raise the stakes - what about an imperfect infant was born - can they argue now, as guardians, that they have the right to commit infanticide?

[Cboldt]

Just what are they going to determine is the cause of her death when this is over?

I'm not kidding, probably "self-inflicted bulemia."

[gruffwolf]

Why, so they could remove it again?

Let's not torture the woman.

[Mo1]

Oh and as for the next ruling from Geer about DCF

You watch, he'll deny that also

IMO .. That Judge is hell bent on killing her

[AmericanInTokyo]

some people value freedom and liberty, it looks like

[Luis Gonzalez]

So, equal powers to you means that they can overrule him?

[Defiant]

Are you saying that Wilson's dissent was poorly reasoned and that Whittemore could not have ruled the same thing? Did the parents not provide the text of the statute to the District court and the appellate courts? If so, if the courts read it, they would see that it was their duty to review the facts de novo, and to do that, it was necessary to keep the subject alive long enough for that review to occur.

The only other option available to any jurist who read the law would be to declare it unconstitutional. Even had they done that, it would have been prudent to grant a stay, as the issue of constitutionality is a matter of law that would be subject to review de novo by the appellate courts.

[Rutles4Ever]

I'm afraid that won't matter. Greer has ruled that the tube MUST COME OUT and now STAY OUT. Even if Schiavo has a miraculous change of heart, it's done. He, himself, can't have the tube replaced.

Remember the C&W song that said "are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell? Is there no kind of ????? for the flag or the liberty bell?" We are now in the snowball phase.

Actually, we've made it to Hell and are melting.
