After Defeats Schiavo Parents Tell Supporters Go Home

Bob and Mary Schindler, both practicing Catholics, urged dozens of supporters gathered outside the Florida hospice where Schiavo is being cared for to go home for Easter.

"The family would request that everyone go home, be with your children, hold them close and share every moment you have with them," said Brother Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who is a spiritual adviser to the Schindlers.

It was not clear if the Schindlers had finally abandoned all legal avenues in their fight to restart their 41-year-old daughter's feeding, a cause that embroiled the Florida legislature, the U.S. Congress and President Bush.

There is absolutely no doubt that who Terri will be with soon.

Now, as far as Greer, Michael and his Godless Lawyer, there companions may be significantly different, but that is for God alone to decide.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

That was very selfless of her parents. Ok. If they declare the fight over, it's time for the next step: let's put some judicial scalps on the impeachment wall.

We may not have a Happy Easter. But perhaps I can wish you a Holy Easter.

Grim FReegards....

"Now, as far as Greer, Michael and his Godless Lawyer, there companions may be significantly different, but that is for God alone to decide."

We can decide their job qualifications, at least after a few election cycles.

Holy Easter - if not Happy, and FReegards....

[Redleg Duke]

And the same to you! You are right about the here and now, we can and should decide their fates...but I don't believe I have the right to judge their ultimate fates. I put my faith in God's own wisdom and judgement.

"Christ the Loard is risen today, hallelujah!"

Happy Easter!! Today we are reminded of God's victory over death, through the innocent suffering and death of His Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, who is risen from the dead.

[MSCASEY]

Remember the Lord overturned tables and threw money lenders out of the Temple. Anger is not always a bad thing. At the moment, we have much to be angry about.

I agree! I think it those that are indifferent and could care less, that will be seen with hardened hearts.

I bet we see this bunch playing golf with OJ soon?

[Aussie Dasher]

How anyone could possibly think of that poor defenseless woman being deliberately starved to death and not care is beyond me.

GWB needs to order a full investigation by the Justice Dept.

Greer, Felos, MS should not be worry free.





That is not going to happen. The republicans will want this to go away.

[Diogenesis]

"GWB needs to order a full investigation by the Justice Dept."

Sure. Right after the stolen FBI files, and the stolen CODE-level files (by Burglar-Berger).

Ain't gonna happen.

[Bahbah]

You made me cry, Meekie. Joy mixed with sorrow. A blessed Easter to you my FRiend.

[tiredoflaundry]

My mother used to say "If you want to make God laugh,just tell Him your plans"

It's so true. :-)

[DBeers]

Based upon my understanding Governor Bush has the authority and can as executive act to remove Terri from the hospice.

Reference:

Thomas More Law Center: Schiavo Authority(PDF)

It has been reported that under the auithority of Governor Bush that FDLE and DCF were enroute to remove Terri BUT for reasons unknown decided to terminate the effort. WHY???

I have had my thinking cap on and would suggest that Governor Bush as executive is responsible for the common good of Florida and the protection of all citizens including Terri. As such, he is between a rock and a hard place... He does not wish an armed conflict between Pinellas Park police officers and FDLE -potential worst case scenario would be for several police and bystanders to possibly be killed and injured in an effort to rescue one innocent woman...

I would suggest that IF the Pinellas Park police officers were not there that Governor Bush would act. Additionally, IF Governor Bush had authority over the Pinellas Park police officers he would order them to stand down and he would act.

Therefore, in my opinion, the question is HOW can Governor Bush gain authority over the Pinellas Park police officers? Any ideas???

It might take more than five minutes to feed him the entirety of his entrails. Go for 10 at the minimum.

[Aussie Dasher]

If we're after the ultimate, I'll go for 15, but as he probably wouldn't survive the first five, I'll settle for my first bid.

Ok. If they declare the fight over, it's time for the next step: let's put some judicial scalps on the impeachment wall.

The sooner the better!

[MSCASEY]

I think the biggest laugh was; Okay I will give her what she wants full well knowing the outcome!

Have you ever seen a picture of Felos somewhat close up! Man I just saw one and the demons in him. Look into the eyes. The eyes are the light of the soul. His were very telling.

Agreed about the ultimate fate but that does not preclude anyone from making their stay on earth a living hell.

[spetznaz]

That man (Felos) is a monster. Why would he even say that. Why can't he just revel i his legal victory (together with his client Michael) and just shut up? Saying that he thought Terri was in a state of 'beauty and peace' must be so hurtful to her family. I just have no words for any of this. If that is no evil i have no understanding of the word.
