TERRI SCHIAVO DAILY MARCH 2005 PART 6- NO FOOD OR WATER IN THE 6TH-7TH DAYS - GOOD FRIDAY
various | 3-24-05

Posted on 03/25/2005 12:17:45 AM PST by STARWISE

Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally sanctioned dehydration until death.

Yes, you do have that option to register as an independent voter, semantics and terminology aside. (Independent is a term a nationwide audience would understand best, right?) Any registered voter can vote in the general election. Otherwise, correct.

The board of registration is a few blocks from me. I need to drop by and pick up some forms. Lots of work to do...

There might be some slim chance of reforming the Republican party, but I seriously doubt it.

It has been hijacked by power mongers just like the rest of the government. These people are rich, powerful, and well entrenched. I doubt they can be rooted out.

Michael Schiavo's attorney wrote to Judge Shames regarding the removal of Terri's "medical treatment."

May 6, 1997:Letter from Deborah Bushnell to Judge Shames:

The guardian is aware that the issue of withdrawal or refusal of medical treatment for the ward is a difficult issue in this case and that the ward's parents will need to be involved.

(Quote source: Letter from Attorney Bushnell to Judge Shames)

Deborah Bushnell's letter was written in regard to the removal of Terri's "medical treatment." At the time this letter was written, feeding tubes were not medical treatment in the state of Florida.

George Felos, attorney for Michael Schaivo, filed a petition on May 11, 1998 to discontinue Terri's artificial life support. This petition was filed eleven months before feeding tubes were legally defined as medical treatment.

Good looking kid. That's what happens when someone gives a damn about you and does the right thing. He's lucky. Many are not.

I weep for our society that we would discard others so easily.

In TX, one is automatically considered an "unaffiliated voter" at registration. He registers by party (for two years, no more, no less) by voting in a primary election. Primaries are held the second Tuesday of March in every even-year. If some offices do not produce majority-backed nominees in the primary, there is a second or runoff primary on the second Tuesday of April. But if one misses either of those primaries, he is an unaffiliated voter for two years -- until the cycle repeats itself, 2006, 2008, etc. Of course, an unaffiliated voter can call himelf a member of a major party, but he is technically not a major party member in TX unless he votes in the every-other-year primaries.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that we can still pray for this mother's child. May she be aware of Your Presence, O Lord ... may she hear Your words of comfort. Fill her with the knowledge of the love of her family ... let her not feel abandoned in her hour of need. Let not her Guardian deny her family in these final hours, but may mother and father and sister and brother freely love and freely grieve in her presence. Let their words of love bring sweet release when she enters Your Presence. May her room be a sanctuary in which she hears the prayers of a grieving nation ... let them be a sweet balm to her soul ... let them be the water that man has denied. May her heart be filled with love for her family, even as their hearts are filled with the deepest sorrow.

O Lord, forgive us that we have nothing to offer them in their hour of need. Send the Spirit of All Comfort in our place, O God, that our beloved Terri will find shelter and rest. In the Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen ...

Funny, I thought Michael had invited both Jeb and W to visit Terri in person. Now they decide they won't let them in if they came?

If they came now Greer would have them arrested. It is sickening to see what the Bush brothers really are.

I know you are..when I didn't see you posting, I knew it was the sadness.
You were diligent through it all. Alot of people's eyes have been opened and maybe some good will come from that.

If Terri makes into tomorrow, what is congress going to do when she doesn't show up for her subpoena hearing? That should be interesting.

That's TX, and I take your word for it since you're a Texan.

You'd said you didn't think a voter could register as independent (semantics aside... ) in SC, so I corrected it.

In any event, principle must come first before party, and one shouldn't give tacit approval to a party that betrayed them by participating in any of its functions.

Pax.

I should have added that one can register as an "independent" in many states, but TX is not among those. Neither is AR or MS, I don't think, and I thought that SC was the same. Does your registration card say "independent"? The TX registration cards do not state a party, but the clerks may stamp "Dem" or "Rep" when one signs up to vote in a party's primary.

I can understand your dismay. Will you be voting to reelect your governor in 2006?

That's a hearing that will not be held, or if it is held, no one will show up. Cowards!

One "changes" parties in TX by switching from one major party's primary to another over a two-year cycle. There are no primaries for any minor party in TX unless said polls fewer than 20 percent of the vote in last gubernatorial general election.

I also was also called a **TROLL** on FreeRepublic. However even worse, I was called a troll by old time Freepers.

They were wrong and I don't give a rip what Freepers think of me, if they are against Terri and her Family.

This has all been political posturing...

I am Done with Political Parties...

I am dumbfounded... the GOP will not keep the power WE fought so hard to give them. Not every pro-lifer will abondone them- but as close as these elctions have been- they will certainly lose enough that count!

Also- it occurred to me...

No wonder the Dems don't want to talk about thier plan to help save Social Security and Medicare-- this is their plan-- PULL THEIR TUBES!

I only pray we see a civil law suit (at the very least) against Schiavo for wrongful death, I think they have enough evidence to do this. I want them to prove in a court that Schiavo is guilty and then they can stick that up the *sses of the judicial system.

Florida Statutes, Chapter 765.109

765.109 Immunity from liability; weight of proof; presumption.-- (1) A health care facility, provider, or other person who acts under the direction of a health care facility or provider is not subject to criminal prosecution or civil liability, and will not be deemed to have engaged in unprofessional conduct, as a result of carrying out a health care decision made in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The surrogate or proxy who makes a health care decision on a patient's behalf, pursuant to this chapter, is not subject to criminal prosecution or civil liability for such action.

(2) The provisions of this section shall apply unless it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the person authorizing or effectuating a health care decision did not, in good faith, comply with the provisions of this chapter.

-----------------------------

You probably know that it was not Michael Schiavo who "made" the decision to remove the feeding tube. He asked the courts to make that decision, and the courts did. He is immune from liability for wrongful death.
