You wrote: The law has ruled that the feeding tube can be removed. You may or may not argue that this is moral. That is your choice. The crux of the matter is she had no living will. If she had, there would be no question as to what her wishes were. You can not prove what they were. And because of that, the court decided. The end.

My Reply: Not quite! Those of us who have read the actual court testimony disagree with the Judge! Judges are not GOD, they make mistakes. And Judges are human beings with all the foibels of humans. THIS Judge has not permitted the Schindles Petitions for the Husband to be removed and for terri to divorce her husband in, oh as I recall, about 1 year now.

You think jsut becasue he is a Judge, we should all go away and accept that the "Court has Ruled." I won't go away and accept any ruling from this awfull Judge. What we have here is a Pro Euthanasia Judge. I have read the actual filings and petitions and affidavits, jsut about ALL of them. The Schindlers are getting how shall I say, hmmm... well let's just say it, screwed by this Judge from Hell.

I guess I would feel differently if this were not a life and death case. We all hve a Right to Life, given to us by our CREATOR not some Judge and not by the Constituition.

I pretty much agree with you. I was listening to Jim Quinn and he explained Terri being in a life and death situation much like you declare an inflight emergency by calling MAYDAY on the radio where you need ot get down right away. In that case, the rules don't apply, you get bumped to the top. If there is a 707 loaded with people ahead of you, they have to wait, if Air Force One is ahead of you, even the President has to wait until you're taking care of. Of course, if you fake it, you're in hot water, but in legitimate cases, life and death matters trumps written rules and laws until the situation is over.

To save Terri, I would break the Constitution or go around it if I had to. My ultimate authority is God and Jesus, if Jesus was willing to die on the Cross for my and all of our sins, the least I can do for Him in return is to put my political career at stake to do the right thing. But I'm getting ahead of myself here, actually, Jeb taking action is within Constitutional bounds, first the judges are getting out of hand over the executive and legislative branches, second the Constitution is codifying the rights given to us by God and/or Nature, and second, Terri's welfare is at stake. The Constitution mentions promoting the general welfare and the judges are failing to do so in Terri's case so yes, the other two branches have to step in. That's where we are in all of this but again, we are lacking leadership here, Jeb is in the driver's seat but he is afraid to put the car in gear and "let's roll."
