I wasn't going to write about Terri Schiavo, because thousands of others have written about her already. But I do have a few things to offer that are not in the MSM.

What we have here is a gross failure of common sense and decency in state and federal courts.You have quite a bit too offer, not the least being this statement.

Greer is not a state judge as other media have misstated. He is a county probate judgea step up from a town or village justice and has never had legal jurisdiction in the case as he violated state law and failed to qualify for office. He cannot claim to be a de facto judge as he has never held legal title to the judicial office. A public officer must first be a de jure officer or hold title before he can claim to be a de facto officer. In Greers case, by failing to qualify, he should not have even appeared on the ballot and was not legally elected.
And why is no one shouting this from the rooftops?
This whole thing should end with "Judge" Greer being disbarred and Michael Schiavo losing the settlement he got for taking care of Terri "until she dies."
Come on Governor Bush, this man isn't even a real Judge and any of his "rulings" are null and void.
As one true hero said: LET'S ROLL!

And a dash of executive cowardice...
For Governor Bush to stand by while a court starves this woman to death makes him a party to their crime. He had the ability, he lacked the courage.
Sorry, that's just the way I see it.

Write your party and your elected representatives:
As a long time supporter of the ideals of the Republican Party and as a giver of money to several Senate Candidates and House Candidates in the last two elections I am lost.
We voted for, worked hard for, donated our hard earned money for and elected a Republican majority in the Senate and House.
Now it would seem that all our work was for nothing as the people we worked so hard for are acting like Democrats.
They are allowing black robed tyrants to run the country in direct violation of the Constitution. They are kowtowing to the Democrats at every turn and seem to be kissing their arse when ever asked.
Unless our party and the people we elected begin to act like they are in charge and take back the country from the left-wing fascist judges and kick some democrat ass then I will move and try to start a political party that will listen to the American people and not to the left-wing fascist anti-American newspapers like the NYT and the Washington Post.
I am a long time voter and supporter, the people we elected have been a disgrace. They worry about their left-wing fascist democrat buddies more that the country.
WHEN WILL WE SEE THE REPUBLICANS TAKE CONTROL????
If I and my friends do not see some action we will leave the party and take everyone with us to form a party that will support the American people.

Dear Antoninus,
Well, the next hours and days will tell the tale.
But if Gov. Bush does not take Terri into protective custody before she is murdered, then your image represents the reality of the situation.
Quite ironic, considering the season.

Well said. Thank you for posting. I hope that he does not deny them the time to spend with her in peace. He clearly does not have her best interest at heart.
To: Congressman Billybob
What we have here is a gross failure of common sense and decency in state and federal courts.And I suppose you know what's best for Terri, right? Check the mirror: I think you've turned into a nanny-state liberal.

I have emailed, written and made phone call to everyone I can think of about the Terri travesty.
It appears that she will be dead very soon now.
I have always been proud to be an American but now I am ashamed.
Upon learning of her death I will lower the flag outside my home, turn the union down then raise it again and fly it again for 24 hours.
After that I will never fly it again.....

Here is an innocent woman, given up on the altar of the secular death-culture, whose high-priest of the moment is an adulterer presumably ready to sign his name to a check in exchange for his 'story'
I can't help but feel that The Almighty is looking down on all of us, bereft. For the last few years
He has been placing Questions before each of us, to test us; such will be our fate on judgement day
God help us

Superb post, John. I'll pass it along to our allies in Cowboyland and the technology-challenged elders. You have much to offer.

Thank you for writing this. I was reduced to tears when I saw the woman yesterday arrested for trying to carry a cup of water to Terri.
I'm going to trust my gut on this one and say that this is wrong.

The procurator ... er ... governor still has time to save her, but it's dwindling fast.

I really hate to play the cynical reader here, but I see this as a much greater problem for the Judiciary than everyone is talking about.
Should another court order the tube replaced and additional tests and/or therapy done, and should she improve even minimally, then Judge Greer and all others who agreed with his decisions are now looking at becoming social pariahs.
I have to look at this situation just like any profession where those in power protect their peers.
The last thing that Judge Greer wants is for her to awaken. His career would end quicker than you can imagine. It would also cast a large cloud over the entire judiciary. Why on earth would any higher court want to risk destroying their entire "we know best" gig on a bad decision by one man? If she awakens and says "feed me", the judiciary is finished as a credible entity.
