They are questions based upon false assumptions.

There has been no campaign to keep the courts from losing power though such a thought is certainly in keeping with the ridiculous rhetoric of conspiracy spouted by the Schindler's allies. In fact, had the courts ruled in favor of the Schindlers they would be praised as heroes as Jesse Jerkson has been for his grandstanding.

This case is unusual only in that there is a political movement built around it. Any given day there are thousands of cases like this in the country and life support is removed without controversy. No one in their right mind believes this is anything to fear. It in no way is an example of a "runaway judiciary." However it will cause great damage to the real issues conservatives are concerned with: banning same sex marriage, judicial reform and anti-abortion actions. Now the rational will be tarred with these nutcases as our allies.

I'm not surprised by this action at all, sad to say.

As I said in a previous vanity post...IMHO, the political (some of them) and legal powers that be realize that they have a judicial and legislative SNAFU...a 'glitch'...a bug, which they want to back away from quickly, and quietly remedy. Its certainly not the 'rule of law' as conceived and executed by our founding fathers.

Terri is a legal 'nuisance' right now. The sooner she dies...the better for the legal establishment. Too many people are starting to ask questions about the functioning of our legal system.

I also wrote in my vanity post...and I was wrong...that the legal precedent to starve a disabled woman to death was not present in our legal system.

Actually...there is precedent..as outlined in MrRepublicans excellent post on an article discussing a SCOTUS ruling....which notes Scalia's dissent ion from some of the main points raised in the majority opinion written by Rehnquist. You all should read it carefully.

I'm afraid we have been heading down this slippery slope for some time...as outlined in Mark Levins excellent book Men In Black.

I don't think this is a nationwide judicial conspiracy to kill Terri PER SE...but it is a conspiracy of the legal establishment to COVER ITS COLLECTIVE BACKSIDES.

Santorum was just interviewed and is talking with House members about instituting an inquiry into the 2 judges"""

I heard that, and it was couched in very tentative language. Don't expect Republicans in the Congress to do anything about the judicial nose-thumbing they've just received. The Bush brothers have given them an example of craven cowardice, and that example also translates into a message: """Hunker down until this all blows over; Terri will be cremated and people will forget; freepers will soon go back to praising Bush as a fearless leader."""

The Appeals court deny Terri appeal, the courts are finished with this case.

So, does that mean the courts are done playing this cruel game with the Schindlers of "Raise Their Hopes, Only to Dash Them Again"?

I would like to know on what basis the american public ,who approve of the execution of Terri,can feign horror at beheadings of innocents in various parts of the world.

Have you ever met a judge? Most of them are utter tools. Remmber - they are LAWYERS. Enough said.

When the law says they must grant a de novo hearing, how can they constitutionally reject it?

With all the rhetoric that has flown over the past week and a half, has ANYONE even attempted to answer that question?

Lin was spinning frantically. Jesse stopped her short.

Terri has been gone for years. I don't pretend like the True Believers that anything can change that.

You've nothing to worry about any longer, the nut cases are no longer your allies.

They will NEVER actually question the rulings on the purported 'Facts' of this case by the Tin Horn in Panellas.

"Findings of fact" as they're called are very difficult to overturn.

She has been a prisoner for years -- because of vermin whom you support in lockstep.

God bless you for even watching. I can't bear to turn on the TV anymore.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to get up, log off, and take my 3 kids outside for a while before dinner.

They seem to stick together very well don't they, no matter how wrong.

This is not a fight for your rights this is a legalistic jihad carriedy out by parents who cannot face facts. Terri has had her rights adjudicated for over a decade and that has dragged out her death far too long. She should be left alone to go to her maker.

Why are you people so afraid of death?
