Part 7 - EASTER SUNDAY -NO FOOD OR WATER 10-11TH DAYS- SHE'S FIGHTING TO LIVE [Schiavo]

Continuing thread ^ | 03/27/05 | various

[tutstar]

After much hard work that has gone on for well over a year, it's been a week and 2 days since Terri has been without food and hydration.

Many asking the question how we could have become such a callous society as to deny a helpless human the basic necessity of food and water.

Terri's plight has brought to light many problems in the judicial system and opened our eyes to the fact that some laws need to be changed.

The work will continue to protect helpless individuals from suffering the same injustice as Terri.

Look what happened to the lady whose case was Row v. Wade...that's a great story about how God can work with someone even after an evil...

[pickyourpoison]

That's a great idea....maybe we need a separate thread for this phone #...if they start getting calls from supporters quitting the party.well they can't have that happening

You can canvass aspiring politicians to ascertain their opinions on these matters but when push comes to shove, you cannot trust that they will stand for life. Look at Jeb Bush. I will never trust a politician again as long as I live. And I'm resigning from the Republican Party.

Actually, somebody ought to go to the Bitburg Cemetery in Germany that Ronald Reagan visited, and leave some notes of apology on the grave sites of those in the Waffen SS: To apologize for having fought a brutal war against them, and having killed them and many others, in order to stop their Nazi political philsophy, which we the US, ourselves, would begin taking on 60 years later.

You've lost your mind.

This is off topic:

Today is the day after Easter. There was a massive earthquake today off of Sumatra, 8.7 a little bit south of the one the day after Christmas. Praise God, doesn't seem to be a tsunami problem, but I was struck how both fell the day after a major Christian holiday...

I do wonder if the Lord is telling us something...

Jeb Bush: "I was criticized for pushing as far as I could; now I'm criticized for not doing enough."

You ain't heard nothin' yet.

The FBI enforces federal laws. They have the only jurisdiction to do so. No state in the Union has the right to disobey Federal Laws. Greer can not keep the FBI out.

The Americans with Disability Act has been violated:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),42 U.S.C. Sections 12101 provides that necessary and appropriate rehabilitation services and physical/motor skill therapy may not be denied a substantially disabled patient in the United States of America.
Cf 28 CFR, Ch 1, Subpart B, Sect 35.130 States "Nothing in the Act or this part authorizes the representative or guardian of an individual with a disability to decline FOOD, WATER, medical treatment, or medical services for that individual."

[LegalEagle61]

"Let's boost her will to live with deep prayer right now."

Heavenly Father we know that with You all things are possible. We see that Terri is fighting to save her life and there are millions of us in this world praying for the same thing...PLEASE grant us a miracle that Terri may have life and be returned to her loving parents. We ask in Jesus' wonderfful name. Amen.

[Howlin]

*Just* a little over the top.

But, then, Larry Klayman or Randall Terry (can't remember which) suggested we apologize for Neurenberg.

[tuckrdout]

"BTW - Greer is a Circuit Court judge - the highest level of sitting trial judges in the Florida system."

Are you SURE about that, or do you have doubts? ;)

[AmericanInTokyo]

Maybe your right.

Must have been an error there just now.

Perhaps suchs notes of apology should be left on the plots of all German soldiers, not just the S.S. After all, they too fought to protect the NSDAP Culture of Death, sinky.

Charges of Unethical DCA Activity Surface in Schiavo Case

© The Empire Journal

Shocking allegations of judicial misconduct in the Terri Schiavo case indicate that while the chief judge of Florida’s 2nd District Court of Appeals was writing dissenting opinions in the right-to-life case, his law clerk was allegedly unethically and unlawfully discussing the case in public circles.

Such alleged improper behavior by a court employee of DCA Chief Judge Chris W. Altenbernd’s court allegedly denied Terri Schiavo a fair trial and led to her death sentence.

One thing that I've started doing with these phone calls is asking, "who will I hear back from?" when I get the "oh, it's going in my report" then I say "ok, well what was MY name?" I then make sure they have my name and phone number, and I have their name. I'm not saying I'm leaving the Republican Party. I say that I don't know what my options are, but I voted for this administration based upon their Pro-Life stance, and I don't believe anything is being done by my representatives, and I'd like to be contacted to discuss this further.

I'm not a financial supporter, so I'm not sure it matters; I am however a volunteer so it should matter.

No, I'm sure. Even your directory noted that he is a Circuit Court judge. The Circuit Court has differenct divisions - Civil, Criminal, Family, etc. Greer has served in many of them. He is now hearing probate cases in Circuit Court. That is a bit different than the probate judge who administratively handles wills and such. In many states, such probate judges are not even required to pass the bar.

Circuit Courts are the highest non-appellate courts in Florida.

I'm sitting here in my office in Washington, D.C. watching some pretty dreadful looking thunderstorms brewing. Everyone is at the windows going, "OH, MY GOSH, LOOK AT THE SKY!" It's very, very, very threatening and dark. Looks like a tornado sky, although I don't think the weather channel is predicting that.

[tutstar]

I knew you'd have something new today! What a mess! I wonder at times if the higher ups including Jeb are just letting it continue because it would be such a nightmare to straighten it out.

[tutstar]

I wish we had storms today it would fit my mood perfectly.

That looks like the same demonstrator from yesterday. The one who gave them the "sieg heil" salute. Yep, he understands what's happening.
