My Bet- judge greer has been bought and paid for.

You can come to only that conclusion. The number of completely bizarre rulings, always being against Terri's parents, is not possible with everything being on the up and up.

It has already been broadcast, that Michael Schiavo's lawyer has donated to Greer's campaign, for one thing.

If Congress follows up on all the lapses of officials in investigating and prosecuting Terri's case in the past then many state and local law enforcement agencies in Florida will have many questions to answer.

But right now there is another atrocity being committed against her that is blatantly illegal and again no one is doing anything. What Greer has ordered and all the courts have ignored is to deny her the opportunity to have food or water by mouth. That is euthanasia and is not permitted under Florida law. Whether she could take water or not is immaterial and in any case we don't know what would happen, at least it would give her a chance and she has none right now. On this order at least the Shindler's have the law on their side -- giving water by mouth is not in any shape, fashion or form artificial life support as mentioned in the Florida statute. Any outcome of a trial of drinking, even death by choking, is preferable to what is going on now.

What I cannot figure out is why Jeb Bush and her parents are so focused on getting the feeding tube back in when it is clear that this will not happen when this other clearly illegal order by Greer is apparently going unchallenged.

As for Jeb Bush, he is showing himself to be just another Republican dupe, to the liberal/judicial revisionistic warping of American government. He has apparently been refusing to take responsibility for a required criminal investigation.

Don't ever stand between a politician and easy answers to protect his career.

In addition to the criminal investigation of Michael Schiavo (from what caused Terri's injury, onward) this alone is establishes a mandate for Governor Bush taking custody and investigating.

The idiot's career is over outside of Florida (there too, I think, despite the media's "polls") unless he does something now.

Also, doesn't Felos sit on the board of the Hospice where Terri is?

Questions:

1. Is the State Attorney General a Democrat?
Any guesses on he doesn't see anything worth to look at?

2. Gov. Bush can LEGALLY ask a special prosecutor to look in the apparent connections between everything AND into the hesitancy of the AG to pursue this action.
Any guesses on he doesn't see anything worth to look at?

Gov. Bush, I mean.
