"When evil becomes 'legally' sanctioned by government, it rises to a higher order of evil - that of Sodom. Legality does not dictate morality. The Almighty dictates morality."

Unfortunately the left believes in neither God nor morality.

"the level of Sodom"

scary thought, and not new to my mind.

[veronica]

There is nothing more the Bush brothers can do. Lord knows they tried, and God bless them for it. Terri will die, but truth will out. Things will emerge about the lunkhead (Michael) and people will come to see that he had only his own freedom in mind. His lawyer turns out to be a wacko too btw.

Yet, their efforts have thus far not been successful. We therefore urge the President and Governor Bush to take immediate and decisive action - either jointly or separately - to save the life of Terri Schindler-Schiavo before it is too late.

What and do what Janet Reno did and seize her like Elian?

Get real.....that was wrong then .....and it would be wrong now.

[B Knotts]

Oh no! Those nasty Christian Right Taliban types are trying to...er...um...never mind.

Rabbis understand the Torah, not the law, which both Bushes swore on the Bible to uphold.

Thanks for posting this. "Legality does not dictate morality. The Almighty dictates morality"....Absolutely correct. I pray that the country takes note and learns the appropriate lesson.

Unfortunately the left believes in neither God nor morality.

The left is highly experienced in creating "gods" even more vengeful and death-dealing than Yahweh of the Scriptures. (Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, etc).

Amen.

Bush swore to uphold the Constitution. Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court once, and it remains a great stain on our Republic. Bush is not a dictator. He doesn't like the laws and rulings any more than I do, but he and his brother must act within the law. That's the way it is. Period.

Of all the many scary things about this poor woman and her murdering husband, the scariest is the fact that the outcome would have been so different if Terri had been a male fairy or she had been black. A white female Christian; screw her!

The husband may sell a bunch of books in the baby-killer blue states but I have he does sell many to honest people. Michael must be making some big, big bucks from the death of Terri, insurance, movie rights, and the like, that he and his bimbo would lose if he and Terri divorced.

[Walkin Man]

What more can Jeb or GW do?

Plunge the country into a constitutional crisis over something that is played out thousands of times a year? Of course without the mass hysteria and circus atmosphere of Terri's case.

What happens when Federal Marshall's or state troopers or national guardsman's face off with the sheriffs guarding the hospice?

Should they open fire on them when they refuse to put down their weapons? And they will refuse to put down their weapons unless the judge is there to rescind his order.

How many people must be shot down to satisfy Terri supporters??

How much chaos will be enough?

Would a total democratic victory in the next presidential and congressional elections make you feel better??

I have news for the pro-life movement.

Most Americans are running away from you now in absolute horror!

The horror is the thought of some politician and some radical pro-life group descending on their deathbeds, shoving their families out of the way and demanding that we be given the "gift" of so-called life as our broken bodies waste away and our minds recede into madness or nothingness while the feeding tubes and other infernal machines keep our wrecked bodies alive for the next 15 years or more!

That is a fate much worse than death to many people.

"In this situation on a personal and moral level, I go with the parents who are willing to take care of this young woman," former White House Counsel Lanny Davis told Fox News Channel's Geraldo Rivera. "And I cannot comprehend why this husband is standing in their way."

Actually seems only (GOP) government thinks this is OK,.

[Falconspeed]

Legality does not dictate morality. The Almighty dictates morality.

Good job, rabbis: A command from the Almighty God is superior to a command from our human representatives. Fortunately, the US representatives are conguent with the Almighty 51% of the time or more. But allowing Terri to starve is incongruent with the Almighty, since God asks us to "defend human life from conception to its natural end" (Pope John Paul ii, Ecclesia de eucharistia, no. 20), Thus, the rabbis are correct to ask the Bush Brothers to fix the problem.

I pray for Terri, for her family, for her supporters, (and for her enemies - which is tough).

[goldstategop]

Of course at various times in history, legality has often been substituted for moral judgment. There's a sense that we've now crossed a Rubicon in America.

Here is an idea that I'm trying to promote. NEEDED: A MOVIE ABOUT TERRI (SCHINDLER) SCHIAVO

[Joseph22]

This is good but what took them so long?

[MisterRepublican]

Had the Founding Fathers obeyed the "laws" of King George and the British courts, we would all be bowing to the Queen.

Had the abolitionists mindlessly obeyed the law, slavery would still be legal.

Every thing that Adolf Hitler did was legal under German "law".

Had Martin Luther King and those who fought for civil rights for blacks obeyed the "law", racism would still be officially sanctioned.

Those who worship the "law" and mindlessly follow the edicts of it's High Priests (the courts) will deserve the depraved and inhuman society they get.

[NYer]

"America is being tested. Will we pass or will we fail?

Even the Orthodox rabbis have weighed in favor of life! Perhaps, like Pope JPII, they see the writing on the wall. It's fairly clear in which direction this nation is headed.

Yes!!! Da's friend Rabbi Yehuda jumps in. Many of us know him from the March for Life. A great man!

I must offer the sagacious comment of Michael Savage who asked the other night....

Are we German enough yet?

This is, I fear, the very slippery slope we all have feared. When a ten year old gets arrested for trying to bring another asuffering person a glass of water, and when the STATE judicial authorities are murdering people in their beds with their court orders, then we are all doomed.

An open announcement to the AARP crowd: better get out of Florida, fast. They will be coming for you next.
