I'll drink to that, I'm sure we could make money with that as well as get our point across. Next Hallowe'en, we can dress up as Grim Reapers and Zombies and call ourselves judges.

PINELLAS PARK, United States (AFP) - As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said.
As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said. Bob and Mary Schindler have been rebuffed by a series of courts in recent weeks and days, their latest setback came Wednesday after the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected their appeal to reopen the case into whether their daughter's feeding tube should be reinserted.
But the woman's parents appear set to continue waging their legal battle.
"I can confirm for you that we are now preparing to file an appeal with the United States Supreme Court," the Schindler's lawyer, Steve Kluth, said in a statement issued by his office.
However, the Schindlers have already been rebuffed once by the US' highest court in Washington on March 24.
Terri Schaivo's feeding tube was removed March 18, triggering an intense legal battle and a right-to-life political storm that sparked the involvement of the US Congress and US President George W. Bush.
Bush signed legislation backing a federal court review of Terri's case -- she has been in a persistent vegitative state for 15 years -- but the federal courts have so far declined to intervene on her behalf.
What? How can this be? Didn't Mr. Schindler say Saturday that all appeals had been exhausted and that they planned on filing nothing new? Could it be that he is dishonest?
Shame, shame, Mr. Schindler.
Thanks for the good idea.
That could explain why your arguments have not been convincing.
You know of course, that the Schindler's didn't even get into this fight until after they asked for 1/2 of the malpractice suit $ and Mike told them no.
AFTER that is when they became "advocates."
Shows you what they are made of. Greed.
You really come across as an immature personality. Perhaps you should retire to a discussion more worthy of your intellectual and emotional stage of life.
Right. The courts ARE the problem.
I know. It makes me sick what they are doing.
There are such hardened positions with this issue, those who are convinced the Judge is a Nazi, just out to torture innocents, are not going to be swayed by facts.
You are sad, sad people and there should be Holocaust survivors who hate you for your Hyperbole.
Interpreting the law as written to allow a vegetable to pass is NOT the same as throwing 6 million people into the gas ovens.
You pitiful wretch. You are as bad as the folk at DU who call Bush and everyone else they disagree with Nazis.
See my #172.
This cheapening of the true evil of the Nazi regime is sickening. Every time they use the "comparison," the ability to discern real evil is further blurred.
It is Satan's work, and it is very effective. The evil one has seen how to turn otherwise good people into his minions.
This may put the Supremes in a bit of a bind, though. If they refuse to take this, they're letting stand the 11th's decision that the law is unconstitutional. I wouldn't be surprised to see them stall for time. I agree that it's unlikely there'll be an order issued.
YOu bet it is about power!!!! CORRUPT POWER!!!!
"As a Christian have you ever heard about the attorney Jay Seculow???"
That was a strange "???" at the end of your question. Am I missing something?
How about in the future you ask if I knew him, and then state your reason why I should be aware of him or the point he made. makes things tidier.
yes, I do know of him. your point?
Well, my great grandmother was Jewish, suffered under the pogroms in Russia. It always starts with one, then a few, then many, then? I'm not saying we are Nazis now but we can become like them down the road. If we let things like this happen, we are really no better morally than Al Qaida or the Nazis, we have lost the moral high ground. If I was a Holocaust survivor, I would be scared, very scared.
There are affidavits stating that Terri could take food and water by mouth. It is legally forbidden to kill someone by denying them oral food and hydration if they are able to accept it. Judge Greer has forbidden any efforts to feed Terri by mouth in spite of (or because of) the affidavits that she could take food in such fashion.
