Welcome to FR.
I am in full agreement with you.............
If Schindler's lawyers based their claims on due process violations by Greer, isn't Whittemore's "suggestion" that they "have an opportunity to litigate any deprivation of Theresa Schiavo's federal rights[due process] a weird redundancy? I don't think so. I read that as Whittemore trying to wave them off from this approach of trying to find procedural errors in the trial court record. That record, after all, had already been appealed several times to no effect. Greer is a careful guy. He apparently made no procedural errors. What Whittemore is asking for is something like, "Theresa Marie Schiavo is being denied food and water by her husband, who claims that she is in a persistent vegetative state. There is substantial doubt about this diagnosis, as attested to in the enclosed 33 affidavits from medical professionals. Please re-insert the feeding tube while we litigate this." |
A mindset is a terrible thing to waste.
I appreciate your understanding my pessimism in light of the current situation. If you were to look back through the thread, I had a number of posts from someone who didn't like it and thought they could get at me with what they probably thought was "clever repartee". It was actually a series of moronic non-sequitors.
Au contraire.
gotcha on the 'phonies' :-)
I use "parameters" every time I find an 'oversight' (boo-boo, blunder, mistake, error) on a construction project (aka a 'Building') and have to call the Mech Engineer to ask what his design "parameters" are so I can then fix his 'oversight' - without his 'boss', the Architect (aka 'god almighty') finding out.
Disgraceful and disgraced judges must be turned penniless into the streets to fend for themselves out of the leavings in dumpsters.
That's the only way to get them to "understand" ~ that is, gain their attention first!
That's called judicial activism.
Was it OK for Eisenhower to send in the National Guard when Arkansas refused to let black children into public schools?
Was it OK for Kennedy to send national troops when (Alabama?) was simply following a judge's decision to not allow blacks into university??
For those who agree with this execution of Terri Shaivo because "they correctly followed procedure", I submit that those same people have forever forfeited their right to question or change any decision by the judiciary, whether state, local or federal.
After all, as long as the judge "followed the law" then it's impossible for them to have made an illegal decision -- RIGHT??.

There is his "In Forum" comments. Articles, articles, articles.
Exactly, and why Congress ordered a new review of the facts, only the courts failed again.
Right but there were interesting points made in the Schindler's appeals. If Greer was acting as both health care surrogate and trial judge, I wondered if he might have, if not the responsibility, at least the opportunity to order these tests.
due process of law was carried out. over 20 times. you just don't like the results.
Amen!!!! Passed by Republican legislatures to boot.
So the Constitution is dead and you are saying good riddence - it died long ago so now anything goes? What the hell just happened to the Conservatives?
These clowns don't care about the Constitution or good sense. It's Terri uber alles for them. Throw every principle to the winds for political expediency. Accept every lie as long as it supports their ideology.
Preach, brother! Preach!!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. These Conservatives are CINOs - Conservatives In Name Only.
