AGREED. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!!
It is a travesty!!!!
That's your opinion.
The difference is: MY "OPINION" HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT!!!
What happened in Terri's case is an indicatin that our foundation has already crumbled.
Again, that is your opinion. You'll find lots of people who agree with your opinion in Seattle. They wear lovely black ninja pajamas and masks over their faces and march under a banner that says "Anarchists".
This event will be history; but, definitely not forgotten. Government factions have pummeled each other to the point there will be plenty of visible scars. In the eyes, of the governed, all government factions have failed them and any mandate for such derelict entities to even exist has been greatly diminished.
If you want to throw the baby out with the bathwater that's your right. I think most of us will continue to fight for right-rule and right-law under the Constitution in the greatest country that has ever existed in known history.
Considering the precedent this case sets, the fuel this will give to euthanasia advocates, and the money involved in the 'hospice' industry, there is no chance this will be forgotten. It will be integrated, and in the following three years will gain steam and be on its way to becoming an institution. The boulder only gains speed down the slippery slope.
If you believe that the judiciary has the power to supercede the Constitution then you have more in common with Anarchists than any of us defending the principles that the law is supposed to reflect.
Baby boomers, and ANYONE with a disability should be VERY VERY scared.
Especially if the REVEREND Jackson gets his way, and the Schiavo aftermath is used to justify UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.
THAT will ABSOLUTELY guarantee the wholesale euthanasia of old folks and the disabled, since 'the taxpayers' CAN'T afford that burden!
I am very scared about this....not so much for myself...but, my children...what evil will have come down the pike by the time they're our age?
It the responsibility of the EXECUTIVE BRANCH to ENFORCE the law. The EXECUTIVE BRANCH must ENFORCE the law passed by CONGRESS, and ENFORCE the LAWS that JUDGE GREER has violated. IF the EXECUTIVE BRANCH fails to ENFORCE THE RULE OF LAW, then there is no more of rule of law.
No doubt! Just imagine the bias of Congressmen in matters like this when their re-election depends on controlling the cost of Universal Healthcare. What will will there be to reign in judicial decisions that help bring down those costs?
Correct. I believe, also, it was for Governor Bush to enforce the Florida laws that Greer broke throughout the case.
Or, as a proper use of Executive power, refuse to enforce his unlawful rulings.
True.
Ridiculous!!!!
Jeb should have acted on this LONG, LONG ago!
In the short term it will be the large number of seniors. But that will not last.
Shalom.
Those seniors will see keeping costs down as a way to preserve health care for themselves not as a threat to their individual access to treatment much less a threat to the methods of treatment. They will hang themselves on their own petards just as senior Veterans vote for Bernie Sanders to pump up Veteran's benefits at the cost of support for the active military.
