Judges are lawyers in dresses. Lower level judges are generally sub par lawyers that can't quite cut it in private practice. So those who defer blindly to judges like Greer are really surrendering their own judgement to the least competent in the professions.
Gentle,
Schuller is right. It should always be a matter of the deepest love. I mean how would King Solomon, in all his wisdom, handle this?
Since Roe v Wade this country has been in serious moral decline. What is happening to Terri and the Schindlers amply reveals how incredibly hollow America and her Constitution have become. You would think a government's most serious responsibility is to protect her people. In America, it appears you would be wrong.
Abrams is a putz....sort of a less gay, slightly less smarmy David "Frenchie" Gregory.
not you......but many here were advocating the Gov to chuck the law and kidnap Terri essentially......and there were some more extreme folk here......couldn't believe it...we don't like the ruling and we think we can circumvent it, but Mayor Newsome did the same thing in SF by marring all the gay couples because of "his" moral convictions and we cried foul........whose morality do we follow???????
yup.......I support him but my post was in regards to judging him by his antics and not his beliefs like some had posted earlier about Abrams
Schiavo had already had an affair by the time he was suing for malpractice.
Which means he might have been lying under oath when he testified, during the malpractice trial, that he believed in his marriage vows. (Caveat: Perhaps at the moment Michael testified, he had decided to try to be true)
Ok, you win. I must correct my statement and say SOMETIMES mercy is emotional(like a robber who spares me) however, for every base emotion, their is a higher, spiritual meaning (let's say beyond logic). This is the basis of all civil intercourse. It is the basis of all GOOD law.
ok fine.....but what does that have to do with me posting about why that person thought Abrams was a bad man...pls don't turn this into another Terri thread, it was not the main jist of the article.....*smile*
As a teenager in the 70's, I had the privilege of meeting Joni after she spoke at a large youth-group meeting in Atlanta. It was just a few years after her accident, and she left a big impression on my life. I was amazed at the way she could paint so beautifully with her teeth!
ok.......we agree......LOL......*wink*
Good question.
I was responding to your own post#47 where you brought the multiple judges decisions. If you can keep track of your own posts perhaps it explains why you seem to have a problem keeping track of the facts in this case.
good for you.....insults are the way to go to influence people.......very good democratic tactic.....and there were mutiple decisions.....if most pundits realize this and the Bush's (called cowards by some) do, I have to trust in them to some extent......how did you feel when "judges" spanked Mayor Newsome for marrying gays because of his "moral" convictions.....you most likely didn't write in to chastise those idiot judges for upholding the law did you????
So Schuller gets to use Teri to promote his book?
I responded to your post telling me I was off topic when i indeed addressed your point.
Appellate systems were put in place because there was a recognition very early on that judges make mistakes, very often and ver blatantly.
If you want to read about miscarriages of justice where the errors went all the way to the highest court, read about the Dred Scott case (Dred Scott vs Sanford).It eventually led to the civil war.
I don't listen to the pundits especially those parading on the MSM.
Your comment about Bush is irrelevant to me,as I have not taken a position about the legalities of his taking action.
It would appear that legal experts generally think that his powers are very limited.
That said it does not change his moral dilemma.
One of the good legal analysts is Hugh Hewitt and he is saying that this is an absolut miscarriage of justice,while saying thatJB can't do anything about it and that we have to look at changing the judiciary through imposing term limits and perhaps making sure that some of the judges are not lawyers so that common sense can balance legalities.
