I find the disgusting remarks assaulting JB as damaging to the changes that need to be made in the Laws. Do these people really think any politicain is going to help when he can be assured of assaults like this if some proposal fails.

And the Comparison of Terry to Jesus is blasphemous.

But if the judges ignore the law, we've got a crisis on our hands. Greer is ignoring the DCF's duty to investigate abuse and corruption in a state-licensed facility. He is ignoring a US congressional subpeona. He is ignoring Florida law that requires "clear and convincing" evidence of Terri's wishes in order to have her put down. We have a crisis when everybody starts deferring to a county judge who defers to nothing or no one. I agree, Jeb must follow the law -- but if the judges aren't, then somebody has to take a stand.

Marty, that was a great post. I agree, the comparisions of Terri to Jesus is blasphemous.

I can't imagine any politician putting themselves in this position again.

Marty60,

The Florida Statute said if DCF believe the vulunerable (sp?) adult was in danger even if the caregive was there they go in and take the vulunerable (sp?) adult.

That is NOT a violation of the state statutes.

There would, however, be a tinkling contest between the legislative and judicial branc in Florida.

That's where the line is drawn. And where the decision is to be made or WAS made.

And if the state law said a person could get sexually assaulted or robbed would it be okay??? And don't say it can't happen here.

Did you really that you'd grow up and watch (via news about it) a woman being STARVED and then told it that it's GOOD for her?

If you couldn't see that, you can't see what's coming as a result of this legally sanctioned WESTERNIZED HONOR KILLING.

Let's not be too hasty here. I can't recall the exact passage in the gospels, but what was it Jesus said about "if you feed the hungry, give drink to the the thirsty, and comfort to the sick, you've done it to Me"?

I agree with your comments on Jeb and Terri. Some people have gone way over the top. What if Jeb was a Democrat Governor and had gone in after Elian against a Court order protecting him? What do you think these people would have been saying then? They are letting their emotions override everything.

Jeb took an oath to uphold the law -- not good laws or bad laws but the law.
